Newcastle Team News
The Magpies have drawn the most times of all Premier League teams, as many as five. Their defensive line is the second-best in the entire competition and they have conceded just eight goals in their first nine games. Everton is the only team that has conceded less than them.
Newcastle players showed a great display in the last round. They registered a routine away victory against Fulham 4-1, and this triumph could have been more convincing. Miguel Almiron stood out with two goals, while Sean Longstaff and Callum Wilson scored one each.
Eddie Howe’s men are seventh in the table with 11 points. They are only three points behind fourth-placed Brighton. If they beat Brentford, they will move even closer to a place that ensures participation in one of the European competitions next season.
Joelinton missed the last match due to an injury. The Brazilian is expected to be in the starting lineup on Saturday. Allan Saint-Maximin is again uncertain for this match, while Alexander Isak is still out of the squad.
Brentford Team News
Brentford has registered one draw less than Newcastle this season, four. Three of their last five matches ended without a winner, and what worries coach Thomas Frank a little are the problems with the finishing of his players. They did not score a goal for 180 minutes. In the last round, they drew against Bournemouth 0-0, and in the round before they were defeated by Arsenal 0-3.
Brentford players scored 15 goals this season, and it is interesting that they scored nine in two matches. They beat Leeds 5-2 and Manchester United 4-0, so the fluctuations in performance are more than evident.
Ivan Toney scored five goals this season and is the team’s top scorer. His good performance earned him a call-up to the English national team in September. If Brentford’s players want a positive result against Newcastle, their best striker must be at optimum level.
Christian Norgaard, Keane Lewis-Potter, and Pontus Jansson are injured. Zanka and Josh Dasilva could return to the starting line-up.
H2H
These two teams played two extremely interesting duels last season. On St. James’ Park was 3-3, and Newcastle celebrated at Brentford’s stadium 2-0.
Expected lineups
Newcastle (4-3-3): Pope; Burn, Botman, Schar, Trippier; Bruno Guimaraes, Willock, Joelinton; Murphy, Almiron, Wilson
