The Current Premier League Standings
As we approach the weekend, let’s take a look at the Premier League table and analyze some of the key matchups:
Leicester v Arsenal: Leicester have struggled of late, while Arsenal are flying high in the form table. It’s hard to see the Foxes getting anything from this one, but a surprise result would be welcomed by Newcastle fans.
Villa v Ipswich: Villa have been inconsistent, while Ipswich have had a mixed bag of results. This could go either way, and a draw would be a decent outcome for the Magpies.
Fulham v Forest: Two well-matched teams, and a draw seems like the most likely result, which would be beneficial for Newcastle’s top-four ambitions.
Man City v Newcastle: Here’s hoping Eddie Howe’s side can pull off a shock result and secure three points, which would go a long way towards guaranteeing a top-four finish.
Southampton v Bournemouth: The Saints have been in poor form, while Bournemouth have been on a decent run. An away win for the Cherries seems the most likely outcome, but a surprise result for Southampton could be a welcome boost for the Magpies.
West Ham v Brentford: This mid-table clash has little bearing on the top or bottom of the table, so the result is unlikely to impact Newcastle’s position.
Palace v Everton: Another mid-table encounter with minimal importance. Palace are the more in-form team, but a draw wouldn’t be a surprise.
Liverpool v Wolves: The league leaders against a team that has struggled for consistency. A shock result for Wolves would be fantastic for the Magpies.
Tottenham v Man U: Two underperforming teams facing off, and the result is unlikely to have a significant impact on Newcastle’s campaign.
Conclusion
As the Premier League season continues to unfold, Newcastle fans will be keeping a close eye on the results of their rivals. With a crucial clash against Manchester City on the horizon, the Magpies will be hoping to secure a valuable result that could solidify their position in the top four. Regardless of the outcomes, it’s shaping up to be an exciting weekend of Premier League action.
