Premier League experts predict 26-27 table - here's where Newcastle United finish after Bournemouth draw

Newcastle United fought back from two goals down against AFC Bournemouth to maintain their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season.

For 37 minutes, the Magpies were very poor. A goal from Marcus Tavernier and an own goal from Malick Thiaw was the least Bournemouth deserved. In truth, the margin should have been bigger.

But a wonderful solo goal by Harvey Barnes before half-time gave United hope and belief heading into half-time and just about deserved their point after substitute Jacob Ramsey equalised in the 88th minute.

Considering all the changes in the summer, both in the dugout and on the pitch, Matthias Jaissle’s side have been a decent start to the campaign, first drawing with Liverpool on the opening day before claiming a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Three matches in and Newcastle sit 7th in the Premier League table - but where will they end up come the end of May? Well, Premier League data experts Opta have predicted how the final table will look. Take a look below:
