New Premier League supercomputer predicts Newcastle United and Liverpool final position as Alexander Isak continues to flop

It has been almost three months since the most turbulent, controversial and, be honest, draining transfer saga of the summer reached its conclusion. Alexander Isak - now persona non grata on Tyneside - finally got his dream move to Liverpool.

The Reds were sitting rosy at the top of the Premier League before Isak’s arrival. Performances had not been great but the Reds still sat top of the tree before their £130million outlay.

However, they have now been dethroned off the top spot by Arsenal, hitting an early season wobble to sit eighth in the Premier League. A gift of a Carabao Cup goal against Southampton is all Liverpool have to show for their British record investment from eight games - with Isak now suffering a groin injury.

Newcastle have also endured a tricky start to the campaign - at least domestically. Consecutive defeats to West Ham United and Brentford leaves the Magpies sitting a dismal 14th in the table.

That has not stopped Toon supporters from hate-watching every second of Isak’s demise at Liverpool. But how do stats boffins Opta believe both clubs will move forward from now until the end of the season? NewcastleWorld has profiled their latest predictions below.
