Newcastle United Preview – Can Newcastle avoid third defeat on trot?
When you find yourselves in the bottom half of the Premier League in 14th place, the last thing you want is to suffer back-to-back defeats and unwanted pressure piling up, but this is the situation that Newcastle United find themselves in ahead of this upcoming clash against Burnley.
Recent losses at Arsenal 4-0 and a 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace mean that The Magpies will be desperate to return to winning ways at their St James Park this Saturday, but the hosts head into this encounter without a win from their last 4 matches overall in the top flight.
The recent losses were preceded by back-to-back draws with Everton 2-2 and Norwich City 0-0 which means that Steve Bruce’s side have picked up just 2 points from the last possible 12 on offer but results at home have been more encouraging.
With just 2 defeats from their last 12 matches on home turf amidst an overall record of 5-5-3 12/12, Newcastle still remain a tough team to beat at home and they should grab at least a point here.
Burnley Preview – Can Burnley keep positive run going?
By contrast, Burnley bring an impressive sequence of results into this Saturday’s encounter against Newcastle United as The Clarets have won 4 of their last 5 matches overall in the Premier League which has helped lift Sean Dyche’s side up into the top half of the division.
Having recorded welcome wins against Leicester City, Manchester United, Southampton and Bournemouth, the visitors will be in confident mood of getting something out of their trip up to the north-east this Saturday.
Burnley’s away record has also been boosted by this recent upturn in form as The Clarets have registered 3 wins out of their last 5 matches on the road in the Premier League, with their record now standing at a more respectable looking 4-3-6 14/21.
With just 4 points separating them from 5th placed Manchester United, Burnley have an outside chance of making a late challenge for a European spot, but first they’ll need to break down this solid and stubborn Newcastle outfit at St James’ Park.
