Newcastle return to Premier League action on Sunday afternoon when they travel to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford. The Magpies were impressive in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) in midweek, beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at St. James’ Park.
Meanwhile, Brentford lost 2-0 themselves in the Premier League last time out against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Nonetheless, the Bees are notoriously stronger at home, so this could be a tough test for Newcastle.
