Newcastle are currently in the best form among the Premier League teams. The team has performed brilliantly in the last three matches. Newcastle players have scored 12 goals in 3 matches and conceded only 1 goal. This shows how desperate the team is to qualify for the Champions League.
Arsenal and Aston Villa are strong among Newcastle's upcoming matches. Newcastle can easily win the remaining matches if they can continue their performance. I believe Newcastle can stay in the top five of the table. Nottingham Forest has fallen behind a bit after losing their last two matches. It is becoming difficult for this team to secure a Champions League ticket.
In my opinion, in the match against Crystal Palace, they should have scored more goals but they chose to hold it back. Because how could it be that in the first half they failed to score 4 goals, and meanwhile 13 minutes after the second half started, Newcastle managed to score another goal, so there should still be many opportunities and time left for Newcastle to increase their lead.
And it is quite surprising that Newcastle has now managed to rise to third place in the standings thanks to the consistency they have shown in the last 5 matches.
In the next match Newcastle will face Aston Villa, and of course this will be quite an interesting match. Aston Villa, who are currently in 7th place in the standings and have just been eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League by PSG, have high hopes that they can still compete in the Champions League next season, therefore they must finish in 5th place at least. Aston Villa has a fairly large chance of finishing in 5th place because the points difference with Man City who are currently in 5th place is only about one point, so as long as Aston Villa manages to beat Newcastle and win the remaining matches, Villa is quite likely to finish in 5th place.
