Predicting how the final table will look is an unenviable task, with so many possible twists and turns still on the horizon.
Here's a look at the results of BBC Sport's fan prediction poll on how the Premier League table will look at the end of the season, and where Newcastle United rank among their divisional rivals:
5. 5th - Spurs
With Gareth Bale back fit and firing on all cylinders, Spurs look like they could be a real threat heading into the final few games of the season. However, they've been predicted to have to settle for the Europa League next season. Photo: Julian Finney
6. 6th - Everton
The Toffees looked to be title-contenders early in the season, but a series of injury issues have seen them gradually slip down the table. Everton fans will be delighted to return to European football for the first time since 2018, though. Photo: Alex Pantling
7. 7th - Liverpool
Yikes, this doesn't look good for the Reds! Jurgen Klopp's side have endured a brutal spell recently, which has seen them lose six home games at Anfield on the trot. Photo: Clive Brunskill
8. 8th - West Ham United
A big change here, with fans predicting the Hammers to fall away over the final hurdles, and miss out on European football entirely. As things stand, they've still got a fine chance of securing a top four finish. Photo: IAN WALTON
