Newcastle United Preview – Will the Magpies finally win at game?
Newcastle have had a pretty abysmal season so far. The Magpies are the only team in the Premier League yet to win a game, picking up seven draws and suffering seven defeats from their opening 14 matches.
Since taking over at St James’ Park, Eddie Howe has taken two points from three fixtures. United drew 3-3 at home with Brentford in his first game before losing 2-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Then last time out, Newcastle drew 1-1 with fellow strugglers Norwich City at St James’ Park.
As we slowly but surely reach the halfway stage, Newcastle will be desperate for their first win as soon as possible. With Burnley in the relegation zone with them, three points on Saturday would be massive. The home victory is available at 13/10.
Burnley Preview – Can the Clarets beat United again?
Sean Dyche’s Burnley have picked up just one Premier League win this season. However, the Clarets have been tough to beat of late, with just champions Manchester City getting the better of them in the last eight in the league.
Since that loss to City, Burnley are unbeaten in five, though four of those have been draws. After a much-needed 3-1 home success over Brentford on 30th October, Burnley have drawn the following three.
