Final Premier League table predicted: Significant finishes for Newcastle United & Arsenal as Man Utd struggle

Could Newcastle United secure a second successive season in the Champions League with a top four finish in the Premier League this season?

These are exciting times on Tyneside as Newcastle United supporters revel in the aftermath of Saturday's night impressive performance and win against Manchester United.

The Magpies were in a dominant mood long before Anthony Gordon grabbed what would be the only goal of the game ten minutes into the second-half after the likes of Miguel Almiron, Kieran Trippier and Alexander Isak had all gone close to opening the scoring.

But it was Gordon's strike that would separate the two sides when the full-time whistle was blown at a chilly St James Park late on Saturday night - and that was enough to ensure the Magpies would temporarily move to within two points of the top four places as the crucial festive period rapidly approaches.

But where are the Magpies predicted to finish in this season's Premier League table and could a second successive season competing in the Champions League be secured when the campaign comes to a close in May?

After simulating 10,000 different versions of the current Premier League season ahead of the weekend fixtures, BetVictor's supercomputer has averaged the total points accumulated by each club and produced a new predicted final table - and it looks like it could be good news for Howe and his players.
