Newcastle United seek a win that would all but guarantee a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League when they close their Premier League slate with a visit from Everton at St. James’ Park on Sunday.
When we say “all but guarantee,” a Newcastle win would give them 69 points and ensure they’d finish the season with at-worst the fourth-best point total. Their +22 goal differential would be at least +23.

Chelsea and Aston Villa could also reach 69 points with Week 38 wins, but the Blues would have to beat Nottingham Forest by three more goals than Newcastle’s margin of victory over Everton.
