Correct score prediction: Burnley 1-1 Newcastle
What is going on with Newcastle? Manager Eddie Howe is arguably in the midst of his toughest period with the club, overseeing just one win from five across all competitions. Away form is a particular concern for the Magpies, who have lost six of their last eight on the road.
Burnley, on the other hand, are in the middle of a much larger crisis. Scott Parker's side enter the fixture in the relegation zone, sitting six points adrift of safety. To make matters worse, the Clarets have not won a match since October, losing seven of their last nine in the Premier League. Bearing all those facts in mind, we could be in for a close game.

Burnley preview: Clarets target rare win
Burnley are fighting for survival and are in desperate need for points. Scott Parker's men lost seven straight games in the Premier League before picking up successive draws against Bournemouth and Everton last time out – a potential sign of improvement for the relegation-threatened team.
Burnley are looking a little light with Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts and Axel Tuanzebe unavailable. Maxime Esteve and Joe Worrall are both doubts. The Clarets will be forced to make another change, with Josh Cullen picking up a knee injury against Everton.

Newcastle preview: Poor season continues
Something is not quite right with Newcastle this season as the Magpies head into this fixture sitting 14th. One of the biggest problems for Eddie Howe and his men has been their away form, which consists of one win from nine games and five very disappointing defeats.
On the injury front, things are looking rather bleak with the likes of Dan Burn, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman and Tino Livramento all ruled out through injury.
The Magpies are hoping to have the majority of their injured stars back in January, but until then Howe will be forced to tinker and explore different options, especially at the back. In the forward areas, winger Anthony Elanga and striker William Osula are still recovering from their injuries.
Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Miley, Thiaw, Schar, Hall, Guimaraes, Tonali, Ramsey, Murphy, Woltemade & Gordon
Last five matches
- Manchester United 1-0 Newcastle United (Premier League)
- Newcastle United 2-2 Chelsea (Premier League)
- Newcastle United 2-1 Fulham (EFL Cup)
- Sunderland 1-0 Newcastle United (Premier League)
- Newcastle United 2-2 Bayer 04 Leverkusen (UEFA Champions League)
Player to watch: Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)
Bruno Guimaraes is the man to watch on Tuesday night, considering the player scored his last Newcastle goal against Burnley at the start of December.
On top of that, the Brazilian found the back of the net on his last trip to Turf Moor when the Magpies powered to a 4-1 victory. Manager Howe will be hoping to see another top performance from his midfielder, who has gone somewhat under the radar in his last five competitive outings.
