1. -24 - Newcastle Goal Difference, Compared To West Brom's -13
The shocking defensive stats of John Carver's side just continue to get worse - and their goal difference is now the second-worst in the division. Basement-boys Burnley have a goal difference of -27, while Newcastle's has now reached -24. West Brom's on the other hand is significantly better on -13. Aston Villa (-21), Leicester City (-15), Hull City (-15), Sunderland (-22) and Queens Park Rangers (-22) all have a better goal difference than the Magpies - and that could ultimately decide who is relegated. Having a significantly-better goal difference is effectively worth an extra point, and Newcastle certainly do not have that right now.
