New Premier League supercomputer predicts where Newcastle United, Sunderland, Arsenal and Liverpool will finish after latest results

Newcastle United dusted some much-needed attacking cobwebs off against Bradford City last night. A home tie versus League One opposition gave the Magpies a solid chance to click into gear in the final third.

They did exactly that with a 4-1 victory at St James’ Park. Scoring goals has never been a problem under Eddie Howe but Newcastle are yet to shake off the hangover from the Alexander Isak saga.

Nick Woltemade is finding his feet, with Yoane Wissa yet to kick a ball since his £55million arrival. A goalless draw at Bournemouth on Sunday was Newcastle’s third 0-0 already this season.

The Magpies host Arsenal this weekend - a team that have also attracted recent criticism for their attacking play. A supercomputer from the stat boffins at Opta have predicted where Newcastle will finish following the recent round of Premier League fixtures.
