Newcastle's Premier League Run-In - Every Eventuality For Magpies, Sunderland And Hull

4. Newcastle Draw, Hull Win And Sunderland Lose Both Games (By Less Than A Combined Five Goals) - Black Cats And Tigers Survive But Magpies Are Relegated (On Goal Difference)

Newcastle United draw with West Ham United Hull City beat Manchester United Sunderland lose at both Arsenal and Chelsea (by less than a combined five-goal difference) Outcome: Sunderland survive, Hull also stay up, Newcastle are relegated (on goal difference) Newcastle's goal difference is the thing that makes their current position so perilous - it is already five worse than Sunderland's and seven worse than Hull's, while the Tigers will extend that gap even further should they win and the Magpies fail to do so. Once again all three teams would finish on 37 points, and it would come down to goal difference - with Newcastle being the side to drop out on this occasion. Sunderland can afford to lose both their matches against Arsenal and Chelsea and survive, even if Hull win and Newcastle draw, if they can keep the deficit down to a combined four goals or less. Newcastle's goal difference of -25 would see them drop out of the division, possibly by a solitary goal if Sunderland lost by a combined total of four. Squeaky bum time indeed - and this scenario could see fans of all three teams anxiously checking for the other scores in the final 15 minutes of their own match to see if their side will survive.
