Newcastle United host Brentford at St James’ Park on Saturday, aiming to break a difficult run of results.
Eddie Howe’s side enters a challenging phase following heavy defeats to Manchester City and Liverpool. Consequently, they sit 11th in the Premier League table. However, history favours the hosts on Tyneside. Newcastle have won nine of their last ten meetings against the Bees here. A victory tonight remains essential to reignite their push for European qualification.

Eddie Howe manages a squad still gripped by a significant injury crisis. However, a major boost arrives as Bruno Guimarães returns to training. He is expected to start. Conversely, Anthony Gordon misses out after sustaining an injury during the midweek cup fixture. Consequently, Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga occupy the wide positions to support the attack.
Nick Pope starts in goal behind the defence. Dan Burn and Malick Thiaw lead the backline. Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall provide width from the full-back roles. In midfield, Sandro Tonali pairs with Joe Willock to anchor the side. Finally, Yoane Wissa leads the line as the central striker. Newcastle aim to exploit their set-piece dominance. Notably, they have won more corners than any other Premier League side this term.
