Premier League experts predict where Newcastle United will finish after Everton defeat

Newcastle United’s hopes of qualifying for Europe are hanging by a thread after their 3-2 defeat at home to Everton on Saturday afternoon.

Heading into the final 10 matches of the campaign, United sit 13th in the table, 12 points below the top five and seven points behind 7th.

Manchester United visit Tyneside on Wednesday night and they are yet to lose under interim boss Michael Carrick, who has six wins and one draw to his CV.
