Newcastle’s 2025/26 league campaign never really settled. They won 14 matches, lost 17 and eventually finished 12th with 49 points. A return of 53 goals scored and 55 conceded left them with a negative goal difference too, a long way from the numbers associated with their recent European pushes.
Bruno Guimarães ended up carrying an unusual amount of the attacking burden from midfield. Nine Premier League goals made him Newcastle’s leading scorer, while his eight assists were also the best total at the club. He managed that despite missing 15 matches through injury, which perhaps says as much about Newcastle’s forwards as it does about Bruno’s season.
There’s a different voice in the dugout now. Eddie Howe stepped away in July and Matthias Jaissle arrived a few days later, bringing a reputation for intense, energetic football from his spells with Salzburg and Al-Ahli.
For 2026/27, the Newcastle United stats worth watching go beyond league position. Goals from the forwards are an obvious one, but so are clean sheets and the balance between attacking ambition and defensive control. If those numbers improve, the route back towards the European places becomes much easier to see.
