So far, Newcastle United has had a fantastic 2022 season.There was serious concern that the Magpies will be relegated to the Championship before the end of 2021.
Newcastle was in 19th place in the Premier League at Christmas, with just 10 points from 18 games, because to Steve Bruce's underperformance.
Eddie Howe worked his magic — with some help from the January transfer window – and saved the club from relegation.Newcastle is currently 11th in the Premier League, with 40 points from 33 games, and a top-half finish appears to be a certain conclusion.
What a 180-degree turn, huh?
Newcastle's resurgence is largely due to their outstanding home form. The 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday was their sixth in a row at St James' Park.
That's an incredible record, and it's one of the reasons the Magpies are second in the 2022 Premier League table, ahead of Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Chelsea, as we enter gameweek 34.
Take a look at Transfermarkt's whole annual table here...
The Premier League table for 2022
Isn't Liverpool's Premier League record in 2022 completely insane? They haven't lost yet this season, conceding only six goals while scoring 33 themselves.
Newcastle is ahead of Spurs despite playing less games, which is amazing given the north London club's recent strong record under Antonio Conte.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and West Ham United are all comfortably outside the top four, while Aston Villa's problems under Steven Gerrard are evident in their current 17th-place finish.It is preferable to say as little as possible about Everton.
Only Watford were poorer than Frank Lampard's team in 2022, with Norwich one point ahead of them despite having played one fewer game.
It's no surprise that the Toffees are fighting to avoid relegation...
