10 Key Stats Ahead Of Newcastle United Vs Southampton

12 - Premier League Games Newcastle Have Already Lost In 2015

Of the 19 Premier League games which Newcastle have played in 2015, they have been defeated in 12 of them (including eight in a row between March and May) - meaning the Magpies have lost more than 63% of their matches this year. Thankfully John Carver, who was in charge for all of those games, is no longer at the Magpies helm - with Steve McClaren having replaced Alan Pardew's former assistant at the beginning of June. McClaren will hope to change Newcastle's fortunes around immediately - because 12 defeats in 19 games is beyond relegation form.
