Newcastle United supporters will be relieved to know a Premier League predictor believes they've done enough to secure their status in the top flight next season. Eddie Howe's side embarked on a nine-game unbeaten run that propelled them out of the relegation places and into the lower echelons of mid-table.
Now, FiveThirtyEight’s supercomputer - which uses statistical information and detailed data analysis to calculate how the Premier League table will finish in May - thinks Newcastle have secured their status for next season. Back-to-back defeats against Chelsea and Everton haven't drawn the Magpies back into a relegation battle just yet, with many predicting their Premier League football is assured next season.
Newcastle won't rest on their laurels but know they have tough tests on the horizon. Howe's side still need to face Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal before the curtain falls on the current campaign.
