It is not Tottenham. An analysis has emerged suggesting that Newcastle could face a shocking relegation in the English Premier League (EPL).

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 27th (local time) that "a data expert's hypothetical scenario has been raised in which likely relegation candidates Tottenham and West Ham survive, while Newcastle could plummet to the Championship (second division)."

Currently, 20th-place Wolverhampton and 19th-place Burnley have been confirmed for relegation. With 15th-place Leeds United (40 points) and 16th-place Nottingham Forest accumulating points, the remaining relegation spot is highly likely to be taken by either 17th-place West Ham (36 points) or 18th-place Tottenham (34 points).

However, statistics expert "AaronW" has identified Eddie Howe's Newcastle as a danger zone. The claim is that Newcastle, trapped in a five-game losing streak in official matches, could be relegated based on goal difference if they manage to secure only one point in the remaining fixtures.

The specific scenario he presented is as follows: Tottenham wins three of their remaining four matches and loses to Chelsea, securing 43 points. Newcastle loses to Nottingham and West Ham and draws with Brighton. West Ham defeats Newcastle and Arsenal, draws with Brentford and Leeds, and survives. Nottingham also adds one win, reaching 45 points and entering the safety zone.

If this scenario unfolds, Tottenham will defeat Everton 3-2 in the final match, while Newcastle will lose to Fulham. Ultimately, Newcastle will finish with 43 points, level with Tottenham, but be relegated due to inferior goal difference.

Of course, the relegation probability for Newcastle calculated by football statistics outlet "Opta" is only 0.07%. The likelihood of this materializing is extremely slim. The record for the highest points total in a relegation in EPL history is 42 points, achieved by West Ham in the 2002-03 season.

The current battle for survival is unpredictable. The media reported: "Tottenham defeated Wolverhampton 1-0 in their previous match, securing their first win of the year. West Ham also beat Everton 2-1 with a dramatic late goal. Nottingham crushed Sunderland 5-0, sending a green light for survival." It then added, "Newcastle lost 0-1 to Arsenal in an away match, falling into a four-game losing streak in the league," predicting that Newcastle, whose form is poor, could face relegation.
