Eddie Howe’s team now seen as joint third least likely to go down in the 2024/25 season.
If you are wondering about the Man City 12/1 odds of relegation, this is due to the possibility (probability?) of severe punishment from the 115 Premier League charges they face, which could include amongst other sanctions, points deduction or even relegation. That hearing now reported to be ongoing.
**Finish Premier League top four:**
1/25 (1/2) Liverpool
1/10 (1/9) Arsenal
1/3 (1/7) Man City
4/7 (9/4) Chelsea
5/2 (9/4) Tottenham
6/1 (11/1) Brighton
13/2 (9/4) Newcastle United
7/1 (2/1) Man U
8/1 (7/2) Villa
50/1 (100/1) Forest
50/1 (66/1) Fulham
This is where, like me, I guess you will be giving most focus.
Can Newcastle United bounce back into the Premier League top four and get Champions League football?
Well the bookies now have NUFC seventh most likely, after that defeat to West Ham.
Now a question of can Eddie Howe’s side bounce back to the winning form they showed against Chelsea, Arsenal and Forest ahead of the international break.
