AI predicts the final Premier League table - and here's where Newcastle United finish after Villa loss

You never thought it was going to be easy, did you? This is Newcastle United we’re talking about!

The Magpies were blown away by Aston Villa at Villa Park, with the hosts hammering four goals past a helpless Nick Pope, as well as hitting the woodwork numerous times. The rampant Ollie Watkins gave Villa the lead only for Fabian Schar to net a header to equalise, even if undeserved. It took the home side until after the break to establish their true dominance on the scoreline, however, as Ian Maatsen, then a Dan Burn own goal and Amadou Onana wrapped things up for Unai Emery’s men.

At the close of play on Saturday, the Magpies remained third in the Premier League table, but could be fifth by the next time they kick a ball. So we asked Grok, X’s AI tool, where each of the 20 Premier League teams would finish this season, with just five games left to play. And here’s where it thinks the Magpies will end their campaign.
