Interesting overview of Newcastle United for the season and this weekend.
The computer model predictions are based on the FiveThirtyEight revision to the Soccer Power Index, which is a rating mechanism for football teams which takes account of over half a million matches, and is based on Opta‘s play-by-play data.
They have analysed all Premier League matches this coming weekend, including the game at St James Park.
Their computer model gives Man City a 78% chance of an away win, it is 14% for a draw and a 8% possibility of a Newcastle win.
They also have predictions as to how the final Premier League table will look, for winning the title it is now Man City 28% and Liverpool 68%, the rest basically nowhere -Leicester and Chelsea next highest at 2% each.
Saturday’s visitors currently nine points off Liverpool at the top ahead of the weekend.

61% Norwich
52% Watford
37% Southampton
32% West Ham
27% Newcastle United
21% Villa
21% Brighton
12% Bournemouth
11% Palace
