This could be a very interesting weekend for Newcastle United in the Premier League.
Eddie Howe and his players play at home against Aston Villa on Sunday at 2 p.m.
That’s one of four games in the Premier League today, followed by Everton against Leeds on Monday evening.
A very strange season in the English top flight this 2025/26 season.
A season in which you are never quite sure how a Premier League match will go.
This is perfectly summed up by Saturday’s results.
Yesterday’s five Premier League matches, ending with…
West Ham 3 Sunderland 1
Burnley 2 Spurs 2
Fulham 2 Brighton 1
Man City 2 Wolves 0
Bournemouth3 Liverpool2
That’s what the Premier League table looks like on the morning of Sunday, January 25, 2026
The Premier League matches in addition to this weekend’s matches
Sunday January 25
Brentford v Forest (2pm)
Palace vs Chelsea (2 p.m.)
Newcastle v Aston Villa (2 p.m.)
Arsenal v Man U (4.30pm)
(Then on Monday January 26 – Everton v Leeds (8 p.m.))
What a potential turnaround for Newcastle United today
Before Newcastle United played Burnley four Premier League matches ago, he was in the bottom half of the table.
By the end of Sunday, Eddie Howe’s side could be in the top four.
This is what needs to be done…
Any win at Newcastle will take them above Liverpool and Fulham.
A win at Newcastle will also take them above Man U if they lose at Arsenal. Or if Man U draw at Arsenal, Newcastle would still rise above the Red Devils if they won by at least two goals today.
A win at Newcastle will take them above Chelsea unless they win at Palace.
While a win at Newcastle will lift Eddie Howe’s side above Brentford if the Bees fail to beat Forest. Or if Brentford won this afternoon, Newcastle would still be above them if they won by a bigger score than Keith Andrews’ side.
Of course, the most important thing is that Newcastle United do business, BUT these other four results that also go our way are also a very real possibility.
Regardless of what happens in these other matches, if Newcastle United win against Aston Villa, they will certainly be above Liverpool when the two teams meet at Anfield on Saturday evening. It would mark a stunning nine-point turnaround between Newcastle and Liverpool in just five rounds. Arne Slot’s side have managed to take just four points from their last five, while Eddie Howe’s side will have collected 13 points from their last five if they beat Villa.
