Newcastle host Sheffield Utd at the St. James’ Park (Newcastle) in the 37th round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 6 pm (UK) on Wednesday, May 19. Read our reasons for Newcastle vs Sheffield Utd prediction and betting tips.
Newcastle face relegated duo Sheffield Utd and Fulham in their final two fixtures - but even six points may not be enough to match last season's 13th place finish. Toon head coach Steve Bruce had spoken about improving on last term's final Premier League position but after losing to Man City on Friday evening, weekend results around them weren't kind as both Crystal Palace and Southampton picked up wins. On the other hand, Sheffield Utd put in their “best display of the season” at Everton after they edged The Toffees 1-0. Teenager Daniel Jebbison scored his first top-flight goal to hand the relegated Blades only a sixth Premier League win of 2020/21. It was also just the fourth PL clean sheet of the campaign for United.
As fans return to St James' Park on Wednesday night for the first time since February 2020, the emphasis will be on victory against a Blades side that will finish rock bottom. Their first win of the season came against the Magpies back in January when they won 1-0 at Bramall Lane. Newcastle will be seeking revenge for the painful reverse in South Yorkshire that left fans furious with the nature of the defeat. Now that the Magpies’ relegation fears are wound shut, the fans can hope to watch some of Newcastle’s best football all season.
And if it's the first of two wins from the last couple of games, it could result in Newcastle clawing either 15th or 14th place. Either position feels like nothing to write home about, but a glance back at how concerning the table looked after the 3-0 defeat against Brighton when Newcastle were hovering above the drop zone by two points, shows an improvement late in the season. Despite the loss against City, Newcastle can still better last term's points tally of 44 with two wins against the already relegated pair.
As for Sheffield Utd, considering the Blades have known their fate for some time after securing the earliest ever relegation from the Premier League, their performance at Goodison was refreshing. The Blades have been missing in action for the past nine months but produced their best display of the season when all was lost. For a relegated side, this was one hell of a performance. In Jebbison they clearly have a bright prospect, but the rest of the squad are showing some mettle ahead of their return to the Championship
It’s now two wins in their last four matches after also beating Brighton by the same 1-0 score-line. With Newcastle and Burnley coming up in their final two games, there is a chance to pick up more points, which could provide exactly the morale boost needed ahead of a return to the second tier of English football. It’s been a sorry season overall, with Chris Wilder also leaving Bramall Lane. Yet with a new manager set to be appointed imminently, finally there is something positive to hold onto for the Blades fans.

Newcastle meet Sheffield Utd Newcastle having previously won five of their last six league games against the Blades, though they did lose the reverse fixture in January this season, giving the Blades their first win of the campaign and a chance to now complete their first league double over Newcastle since 1978/79 in the second tier.
With Newcastle putting out a fine display albeit a 4-3 loss against Man City, they will hope to finish the campaign on the up, just like The Blades, who desperately need some positive development ahead of their imminent relegation to the second-tier after such a poor season.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
