Team News
Burnley
Newcastle
- Burnley will have to check on a number of injury concerns heading into Saturday's match against an in-form Newcastle.
- Sean Dyche will desperately hope to have the likes of Ashley Barnes, Ashley Westwood and Charlie Taylor available here.
- Allan Saint-Maximin will miss the festive period with a hamstring problem in a huge blow to Newcastle.
- Fabian Schar is on standby to replace Ciaran Clark with Jamaal Lascelles still unavailable, while Christian Atsu is the natural replacement for Saint-Maximin.
- Andy Carroll made an important impact from the bench against Southampton and could soon be given a start in attack over Joelinton.
- Steve Bruce has says he will take no risks with Miguel Almiron, who is struggling with a muscle injury, which suggests he will miss out here.
Newcastle 6-3-1 tactics, lol
Burnley to get first draw at home ths season
1 - 1 . Newcastle will park the bus
I expect Whoscored's prediction of 1-0 to be off. Shelvey could score for the 4th game in a row, he's on a roll.
@Fromhell he is my candidate for a red card ; it seems like when everybody expects him to continue his top performances he turns into a villain
Without Saint-Maximan and Almiron, there is no one in Newcastle who can carry the ball across the field. The best result they can hope for is a lousy draw, but I think Burnley can easily handle this game. 2-0 home win.
1-2 Saint-Maximin !
@watfordAlbert injured
