I asked AI to predict the final Premier League table – and here’s where Newcastle United finish

Newcastle United’s Carabao Cup triumph has injected a wave of optimism into the club and its supporters, but the question remains: where will they finish in the Premier League this season?

Currently sitting sixth in the table, the Magpies have already secured European football for next season, thanks to their Wembley victory. However, the difference between qualifying for the Champions League and the UEFA Conference League is significant, both in terms of prestige and financial rewards.

With 10 games left to play—six of which are at St. James’ Park—Newcastle have a golden opportunity to push for a top-five finish and secure a return to Europe’s elite competition.

To gauge what the future holds, we turned to the AI tool Grok for its predictions on the final Premier League standings. The results provide an intriguing glimpse into how the season might unfold.

According to Grok, Newcastle are projected to finish seventh with 63 points, just behind Bournemouth in sixth and ahead of Aston Villa in eighth. While this would mark a respectable campaign, it falls short of the Champions League spots, which are predicted to go to Liverpool, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Manchester City.

The AI’s predictions suggest that Newcastle’s Carabao Cup success might not translate into a late-season surge for the top four or five. Instead, the Magpies are expected to consolidate their position in the upper mid-table, finishing just outside the European places.

While this would still represent progress for a club that was battling relegation just a few seasons ago, it falls short of the lofty ambitions set by their recent achievements.

For Eddie Howe and his squad, the challenge will be to use the momentum from their Wembley triumph to fuel a strong finish to the league campaign. With key players like Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimarães, and Anthony Gordon in form, Newcastle have the quality to defy these predictions and push for a higher finish.

However, the competition for European spots is fierce, with teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham also vying for a place in the top five.

As the season enters its final stretch, Newcastle’s fate remains in their hands. Whether they can build on their Carabao Cup success and secure a return to the Champions League will depend on their ability to maintain consistency and capitalize on their remaining fixtures.

For now, the AI’s projections offer a fascinating snapshot of what could lie ahead, but the beauty of football lies in its unpredictability—something Newcastle fans know all too well after their Wembley heroics.
