The 2025/26 Premier League season is heating up as the twelfth round of matches has just concluded. After an entertaining weekend, the focus now shifts to the performance predictions based on the latest data simulations by Opta.
Match Highlights from Round 12
One of the standout events occurred at Old Trafford on Monday night. Everton faced Manchester United but ended up down to ten men in the 13th minute. Despite this advantage, Manchester United struggled to create scoring opportunities, while Everton made the most of their single chance.

Opta’s Predicted 2025/26 Premier League Table
As of the morning of November 25, 2025, Opta has analyzed the team performances and provided an updated prediction for the season’s final standings. The simulation suggests that Newcastle United is likely to finish in the eighth position with a projected total of 55 points.
Key Predictions for Newcastle United
- Winning the Premier League: 0.23% chance
- Champions League qualification (top four): 11.82% chance
- Relegation risk: 0.33% chance
The possibility of securing Champions League football increases if the top five teams qualify, as seen in the previous season. Despite their current 14th position, Newcastle is only five points away from a Champions League spot.
Current Premier League Landscape
The league table reflects a tightly contested race. Newcastle United sits just five points off fifth place and only eight points behind the second spot. Conversely, they are also five points clear of the relegation zone. The season’s tight margins indicate that a few consecutive wins could substantially alter their standing.
Eddie Howe and his squad understand that stringing together a successful run in the Premier League is crucial for their aspirations this season. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Newcastle’s ability to climb the table and compete with the league’s elite.
