Team News

Newcastle
Brentford
  • Joelinton may return to the starting XI for Saturday's welcome of Brentford, but Eddie Howe is without no fewer than five players here.
  • Allan Saint-Maximin remains a doubt for the hosts, with Jacob Murphy potentially keeping his spot on the left.
  • Ethan Pinnock will be assessed, but Thomas Frank is without Christian Norgaard, Keane Lewis-Potter and Pontus Jansson.
  • Zanka may deputise at the heart of the defence, while Josh Dasilva could also return to the side.

Prediction

  • Newcastle ended a six-game winless run in fine fashion last time out as they romped to a 4-1 win at Fulham. They are unbeaten at home this season, however, so should be confident of earning a result at Brentford's expense.
  • Brentford have won only one of their last six league outings, and have a poor record on the road, picking up three points from four matches. The Bees played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Newcastle in this fixture last season.
  • After their fine 4-1 win at Fulham, the hosts will be confident of picking up another three points here.
