BBC Sport have been looking forward to the new 2024/25 Premier League season.
Phil McNulty is the chief football writer at BBC Sport and he has given his considered opinion on the 20 clubs contesting this upcoming campaign.
It is only an opinion of course…
Interesting though to read outside opinions, stepping outside our own endless internal debates within the NUFC fanbase.
So what does the BBC Sport main man predict this time…
The BBC Sport chief football writer’s predicted 2024/25 final table and then the explanation on Newcastle United from Phil McNulty – 14 August 2024:
Man City
Arsenal
Liverpool
Villa
Man U
Tottenham
Chelsea
West Ham
Newcastle United
Palace
Everton
Brighton
Fulham
Bournemouth
Wolves
Forest
Brentford

Leicester
Ipswich
‘9. Newcastle
Last season: Seventh
Strange summer at Newcastle United, with churn backstage caused by the departure of Amanda Staveley from the boardroom and the arrival of Paul Mitchell as sporting director following Dan Ashworth’s move to Manchester United.
The European football Newcastle thought they had was taken away by Manchester United’s FA Cup final win over Manchester City, while profit and sustainability rules (PSR) meant the reluctant sales of Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton respectively.
And then came the revelation that the departure of last season’s star man and England winger Anthony Gordon to Liverpool had even been discussed to raise funds until other players left.
Throw in the speculation linking manager Eddie Howe with England and it has hardly been plain sailing on Tyneside.
