Newcastle United are on a real adventure, trying to grab sixth place in the Premier League. They need about eight points from their last four matches, but Eddie Howe, their manager, dreams of winning all twelve! If they do, they could even sneak past big teams like Manchester United and Chelsea.
Right now, Newcastle are seventh, just a smidge behind Manchester United. They’ve got a super important game coming up at Old Trafford, which could really stir things up in the rankings.
Chelsea, coached by Mauricio Pochettino, are also eyeing sixth place. They’ve got a game in hand, which could help them leapfrog their rivals. And don’t forget about West Ham; they’re a bit behind but still in the race.
Newcastle has three away games coming up, but they’re hoping to make a splash in their last home game against Brighton. Before that, they’re off to face Burnley, who’ve been a bit better lately but usually struggle at their home ground, Turf Moor.
Manchester United has some tough matches too. They need to beat Crystal Palace, who recently outplayed Newcastle, and then tackle Arsenal before their big clash with Newcastle.
Chelsea has some tough games left against Tottenham and West Ham, but they could really push ahead in their last games against Nottingham Forest, Brighton, and Bournemouth.
Guessing game results is tricky, especially now, but it’s fun to try! If Newcastle can grab at least four points before heading to Old Trafford, they could jump ahead of Manchester United with a win there. They’ve beaten them before this season, so fingers crossed!
If Newcastle can win against Brighton and Manchester United and draw with Burnley and Brentford, they could end up with 61 points. That means Chelsea would need 14 points from five games to pass Newcastle, which would be quite a feat!
It all might come down to the big game at Old Trafford on May 15. Maybe it’s a good time to watch their Carabao Cup victory again!
