Where Newcastle United, Aston Villa & West Ham finished in Mark Lawrenson's shock alternative table
Over the summer, the Magpies will be looking to strengthen their side with fresh signings, as they look towards progressing further up the table next season.
Throughout last season, we kept a close eye on Mark Lawrenson's weekly scoreline predictions, in which he and a celebrity guest battled it out each week to try and correctly guess the top tier scorelines.
Here's a look at how Newcastle United would have finished in the final Premier League table, if every single one of Lawro's predictions had come true over the course over the campaign:
