Defeat against title-chasing Liverpool ended a run of four wins in a row for Eddie Howe’s side who are just one win away from mathematically securing survival.
It would take a very unlikely set of results for Newcastle to be dragged back into any relegation danger, but with some tough games to go between now and the end of the campaign, it is hoped that they can mathematically ensure their status sooner rather than later.
It has been a terrific 2022 so far for the Magpies who have earned the opportunity to play with freedom. They may have little to play for, however, with games against Manchester City, Arsenal and Burnley, Howe’s side still have a major part to play in storylines at both ends of the division.

13. Newcastle United
Newcastle’s four game winning streak was ended by Liverpool on Saturday but Eddie Howe’s side know they are just one win away from guaranteeing safety, however, they have got some tricky games left to play. Predicted points = 46 (-19 GD), chances of relegation = Photo: Stu Forster
Brentford have enjoyed a very good first season in the Premier League and the supercomputer predicts them to finish in the middle of the pack. Predicted points = 45 (-10 GD), chances of relegation = Photo: Catherine Ivill
If the sides below them keep picking up points, Southampton fans may start to sweat a little over their side’s safety, however, for now, the supercomputer doesn’t believe they are in too much danger. Predicted points = 43 (-20 GD), chances of relegation = Photo: Warren Little
Their last gasp win over Watford perfectly encapsulated the new found spirit at Burnley. Survival is a real possibility now, but by no means a certainty. Predicted points = 38 (-17 GD), chances of relegation = 21%, chances of finishing 16th: 33% Photo: Julian Finney
