New Premier League data predicts where Newcastle United and Liverpool finish after Alexander…

It has been 10 days since the most turbulent, controversial and, be honest, draining transfer saga of the summer reached its conclusion. Alexander Isak - now persona non grata on Tyneside - finally got his dream move to Liverpool.

Newcastle United acted swiftly to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford to partner fellow new boy Nick Woltemade. Eddie Howe - having been lacking a goal threat all season - will now feel he has the tools to launch another Champions League charge.

As for Liverpool, they were sitting rosy at the top of the Premier League before Isak’s arrival. Performances had not been great but the Reds still sat top of the tree before their £130million outlay.
