Premier League experts predict where Newcastle United will finish after Aston Villa defeat

Newcastle United suffered a second straight Premier League defeat after losing 1-0 to Aston Villa at St James’ Park.

With 14 goals conceded - the second-highest total in the Premier League - and just one shot on target against Villa, concern is growing on Tyneside.

Should supporters be concerned? Premier League data experts have crunched the numbers and predicted where the Magpies will finish this campaign:
