This is how the Premier League form table looks ahead of the weekend.
Newcastle United now in the final stretch of the season.
A busy time with already 53 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 five Premier League matches across five weekends.
Newcastle United looking to get back to winning form at second in the table Arsenal.
Premier League form table (as at Thursday 23 April 2026)
The last six PL results for Newcastle United with very latest one listed first:
Newcastle 1 Bournemouth 2
Palace 2 Newcastle 1
Newcastle 1 Sunderland 2
Chelsea 0 Newcastle 1
Newcastle 2 Man U 1
Newcastle 2 Everton 3
As you can see, Newcastle United are seventeenth 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 eight goals scored and ten conceded.
As for Newcastle’s opponents on Saturday, these are the last six PL matches that Arsenal have played, the very most recent listed first:
Man City 2 Arsenal 1
Arsenal 1 Bournemouth 2
Arsenal 2 Everton 0
Brighton 0 Arsenal 1
Arsenal 2 Chelsea 1
Tottenham 1 Arsenal 4
So Arsenal are third in this Premier League form table with twelve points from four wins, no draws and two defeats, scoring eleven and conceding six.
Premier League table as at Thursday 23 April 2026
As you can see, Arsenal currently 12 places and 28 points above Newcastle United.
A win for Eddie Howe and his players would obviously be very welcome but a draw would also be a great result, the bonus of course being that this would further sabotage Mikel Arteta and Arsenal’s title bid. Manchester City having gone above the Gunners last night thanks to a 1-0 win at Burnley.
