Newcastle United currently sit 10th in the Premier League table - but where are Eddie Howe's side expected to finish come May?
After qualifying for the Champions League last year, this season has provided some remarkable highs, i.e beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, yet in the main it has felt like a frustrating one.
There have been mitigating circumstances, of course, with injuries causing havoc. But the two-break international break is a chance for the Magpies to reset and attack the remaining 10 league games.
And all is not lost with Newcastle firmly in the battle for Europe. The top four is out of reach, and Manchester United in sixth probably are too, so seventh is most realistic aim, and that will guarantee a Europa Conference League spot.
But the race is tight. West Ham United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea fancy their chances. Howe's side must improve because only six teams have performed worse since the beginning of December.
All in all, it makes for an interesting end to the campaign, and here's how data experts Opta are predicting the Premier League table to finish.
