Team News

Newcastle
Brentford
  • Eddie Howe could re-shuffle his front line after three successive Premier League defeats, with Callum Wilson and Harvey Barnes both pushing to start.
  • Checks will have to be made on Sandro Tonali and Sven Botman ahead of this one.
  • Sean Longstaff could come into midfield in place of the former, should he be ruled out.
  • Elliott Anderson is also a doubt for Saturday's match after picking up a knock.
  • Josh Dasilva and Shandon Baptiste remain ruled out through injury, while Mikkel Damsgaard will need to be assessed before Saturday's trip to Newcastle.
  • Thomas Frank opted for Ben Mee over Nathan Collins last time out, and the Dane will likely look to keep his starting XI unchanged for this one.

Prediction

  • Newcastle's early season struggles continued at the Amex Stadium last time out as Brighton and Evan Ferguson put Eddie Howe's men to the sword in a 3-1 win.
  • Eddie Howe may well have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League group stage opener at the San Siro, but will be hoping his side can return to winning ways in the league first. They currently occupy 14th spot.
  • Brentford maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with an eventful draw at home to Bournemouth two weeks ago.
  • Three draws and one win so far see the Bees in eighth position going into this one.
  • Newcastle have won their last three meetings with Saturday's visitors and will likely put things right here.
