Newcastle United are back on track.
While it wasn’t the prettiest of performances, the Magpies got three points on the board to keep themselves in the hunt for the European places in the Premier League.
A solitary strike from Bruno Guimaraes was enough to see Eddie Howe’s men claim victory at the London Stadium.
The result saw Newcastle climb to sixth in the top flight table, but things remain remarkable tight at the top, with Chelsea in fourth and Bournemouth in ninth separated by just five points. Never has the Premier League been this tight, so late in the campaign.
But what does the result really mean for the Magpies’ season as a whole? We asked AI tool ‘Grok’ where each team would finish come May this season - and the result may well surprise.

7. Bournemouth - 14th
Bournemouth’s 2024/25 season has been impressive, with their press and Antoine Semenyo’s form earning praise. A ninth-place finish is possible, but maintaining that level with key departures will be tough. | Getty Images
8. Crystal Palace - 13th
Palace’s strong 2024/25 under Oliver Glasner, driven by Jean-Philippe Mateta’s 33 goals over two seasons, suggests a stable mid-table finish. Their attacking flair could push them higher, but depth issues may cap their ceiling. | Getty Images
