Best and worst case scenarios with other Premier League results for Newcastle United before Aston Villa
Newcastle United have to wait until Monday night before they visit Aston Villa.a
The televised match meaning a very long 16 days between fixtures.
There are eight Premier League games on Saturday, with one on Sunday.
Potentially a benefit for Newcastle United to see how the other 18 clubs get on before their match.
This is how the Premier League table looks before the 13th round of fixtures and then this weekend’s fixtures.
Saturday 23 November
West Ham United v Tottenham (12.30pm)
Arsenal v Southampton (3pm)
Bournemouth v Wolves (3pm)
Brighton v Leicester (3pm)
Crystal Palace v Liverpool (3pm)
Everton v Norwich (3pm)
Watford v Burnley (3pm)
Manchester City v Chelsea (5.30pm)
Sunday 24 November
Sheffield United v Man Utd (4.30pm)
Monday 25 November
Aston Villa v Newcastle (8pm)
If all the fixtures did go Newcastle’s way (the higher team in the league beating the lower one), this is how the Premier League would look on Monday before the NUFC game, number of points then club name:
37 Liverpool
29 Leicester
29 Chelsea
25 Man City
20 Sheff Utd
20 Arsenal
19 Wolves
18 Burnley
17 Tottenham
17 Everton
16 Man Utd
16 Bournemouth
15 Brighton
15 Palace
15 Newcastle United
13 West Ham
11 Aston Villa
8 Watford
8 Southampton
7 Norwich
In that best case scenario it would mean that if Newcastle beat Villa, they would go level with Burnley on 18 points, in 9th place. NUFC still seven points above the relegation zone even if they lost at Villa.
Whilst this is how it would look if all the results went the wrong way (lower team beating higher one), number of points then club name:
34 Liverpool
28 Man City
26 Leicester
26 Chelsea
19 Man Utd
19 Bournemouth
18 Brighton
18 Palace
17 Sheff Utd
17 Arsenal
16 Wolves
16 West Ham
15 Burnley
15 Newcastle United
14 Tottenham
14 Everton
11 Aston Villa
11 Watford
11 Southampton
10 Norwich
In that worst case scenario it would mean that if Newcastle beat Villa, they would go level with Brighton and Palace on 18 points, in 9th place. NUFC still four points above the relegation zone even if they lost at Villa – although things would look a lot tighter at the bottom.
