Opta predicted final 2024/25 Premier League table – Reassessed after Newcastle defeat Ipswich | OneFootball

What do you predict with the final 2024/25 Premier League table?

Exactly four weeks of the season still left to go.

In 28 days time Newcastle United will conclude their season with a home game against Everton on Sunday 25 May with a 4pm kick-off.

This weekend a little different, as three of the five clubs competing to join Liverpool and Arsenal in the Champions League next season, were instead in FA Cup semi-final action.

The two matches that were played on Saturday, involving teams currently between third and seventh, saw Chelsea climb to fourth in the Premier League table after they struggled to a narrow 1-0 home win over Everton.

That 12.30pm kick-off was followed at 3pm by a match at St James’ Park, which ended Newcastle 3 Ipswich 0.

So this is how the Premier League table now currently (morning of Sunday 27 April 2025) looks after Saturday’s results:

As you can see, it is now five points now separating Newcastle United in third down to Aston Villa in seventh, although Forest do have a game in hand on the other four.
