This is how the Premier League form table looks ahead of the weekend.
Newcastle United now in the final stretch of the season.
Already 55 games played by NUFC this season in all competitions.
A packed schedule had seen Newcastle United playing every midweek as well as weekends, other than during the ‘breaks’ for internationals.
Now though, Eddie Howe and his players facing the remaining three Premier League matches across three weekends.

Premier League form table (as at Thursday 7 May 2026)
The last six PL results for Newcastle United with very latest one listed first:
Newcastle 3 Brighton 1
Arsenal 1 Newcastle 0
Newcastle 1 Bournemouth 2
Palace 2 Newcastle 1
Newcastle 1 Sunderland 2
Chelsea 0 Newcastle 1
As you can see, Newcastle United are sixteenth in this newly updated Premier League form table.
In the Premier League form table over the last half dozen games, NUFC with six points from two wins, no draws and four defeats, with seven goals scored and eight conceded.
As for Newcastle’s opponents on Sunday, these are the last six PL matches that Nottingham Forest have played, the very most recent listed first:
Chelsea 1 Forest 3
Sunderland 0 Forest 5
Forest 4 Burnley 1
Forest 1 Villa 1
Spurs 0 Forest 3
Forest 0 Fulham 0
So Forest are at the very top of this Premier League form table with fourteen points from four wins, two draws and no defeats, scoring sixteen and conceding three.
Premier League table as at Thursday 7 May 2026
Forest currently sixteenth in the full table and three places below Newcastle United. who are thirteenth. However, the congested nature of the Premier League table means that a win for NUFC could potentially take them to within only four points off Bournemouth who are currently sixth.
On the other hand, if Forest win on Sunday then they will go above Newcastle on goal difference.
It often happens towards the end of a Premier League season that teams fighting relegation suddenly start getting far better results. At least to an extent due to the fact that they are desperately fighting for survival and often playing against teams that don’t have a lot to play for, or have other issues…
Leeds, Palace, Tottenham and West Ham are showing this recently, with relegation worries hanging over them they are all in the top 11 when it comes to this Premier League form table above. For some time Wolves and Burnley had been effectively relegated and so maybe no surprise that they haven’t also found better late form in the league.
Forest are looking to prove this to a ridiculous degree though. They are at the very top of the Premier League form league, whilst Chelsea at the very bottom with six defeats in a row. The Chelsea owners and players an absolute joke, considering all the huge advantages they have over most clubs. Forest won at a canter, despite making seven changes with tonight’s Europa League semi-final second leg in mind, a 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge. This told you so much about the current situation at both clubs.
Forest have actually now only lost three of their last 15 Premier League matches.
Whilst in the last six PL games they have picked up 14 points, scoring 16 goals and conceding only three. In their first 29 PL matches this season, Forest only picked up 28 points and scored 28 goals, whilst conceding 43 at the other end.
Forest will obviously throw everything at this Europa League match against Villa tonight, so it will be interesting to see what kind of team Vitor Pereira puts out against Newcastle this weekend.
