Newcastle United

Matchweek 5

Every Premier League matchweek 5 fixture with its kickoff, the match result prices on our board with the bookmaker margin removed, both clubs' measured form and their last meetings: Premier League matchweek 5 fixtures, lines and form.

Most-used starting XI

The eleven players with the most 2025/26 league starts, each shown in the line he most often started in, with his season start count. This is a record of last season, not a predicted lineup: team sheets come from the openfootball public-domain archive and cover the 2025/26 season in full. Rows follow the source team sheets, so a player used across several roles appears in his most common one.

Betting stats: goals, BTTS and clean sheets

Over and under the posted total

The posted total is the median of the books quoting that match, taken at each book's last recorded price before kickoff. Our archive is a daily snapshot grid rather than a tick feed, so it is not a closing line and is not published as one. "On the number" counts matches that finished level with a whole-number total, three goals with the total posted at 3 for instance, and those matches stay in the denominator of the rate. The home and away rows carry the total they were measured against, because that number is not always the same at both ends and a rate read without it says less than it appears to.

Record against the handicap

A handicap adds goals to one side before the result is read. "Cleared" counts matches where the goal margin beat the number posted for Newcastle United, and "on the number" counts matches that landed exactly on it. These are comparisons of a final score against a posted number, not settled wagers.

Odds history: how the market priced Newcastle United

Each match is placed by the median price across the books quoting it, converted to implied probability first, at each book's last recorded price before kickoff. Newcastle United is the shorter price when its implied probability is more than 5 points above the opponent's. Implied probabilities include the bookmaker margin, so they sum to more than 100 across the three results. This is a record of past matches and their prices, not a forecast of the next one.

Season history

Who played in 2025/26

An appearance is a name on the team sheet: a starter, or a substitute who came on. Goals exclude own goals, which the source flags separately and credits to no player, and include penalties. 2025/26 Premier League matches only, so cup and European appearances are not counted. This is the record of a completed season and not a current squad: a player who left Newcastle United in the summer is in this table, and a player who signed in the summer is not. Names are printed as the source writes them.
