Newcastle United go into their final home game, hosting Sheffield United in the penultimate round of matches in the league. The home team has 39 points, in 16th place while Sheffield are bottom on 20 and there’s really nothing to fight for in this game for both sides. Newcastle can only rise by a place, and that’s all, and with just three wins in their last 13 matches, they can’t wait to sign off the season. They are coming from a 4-3 loss to Manchester City, having earlier beaten Leicester City 4-2. With seven goals scored in the last two matches, they have the belief as they head towards the end of the season. Their three wins in the last 13 matches have all come in the last six outings and with an impressive scoring run, they will be favorites here. The Magpies have scored two or more goals in five of their last six matches and Joe Willock has been key in this, with six goals in seven matches. This is their final home game; they lost the last two but this will be an easier opponent to face, unlike Arsenal and Manchester City previously.

Sheffield United are in their final days in the Premier League, at least for 12 months, after a very poor season. They did claim a rare win in their last match, a 1-0 victory over Everton away from home, and in their final away game they will hope for three more points. This was the third time in 10 matches that they’ve managed to score. They’ve beaten Brighton, Everton and Aston Villa in the three matches and they head to this game on a poor scoring run, having managed just two goals the last six matches. In the six matches the Blades have conceded 10. It is not any easier for them away from home; before the Everton game, they had eight straight losses.
