Burnley - Newcastle

England Premier League - Turf Moor

We're bringing you our Premier League predictions for Newcastle's trip to Burnley on Saturday.

Hosts Burnley are battling for their Premier League survival and could really do with a victory this weekend, while Newcastle are still in the race for a top-five finish and could move up one place and into sixth if they better  Manchester United's result.

Burnley vs Newcastle predictions: Both teams need the points

Key Stats

• Three of the last five league meetings between Burnley and Newcastle have ended with both teams scoring, while five of the host's last six outings in the Premier League have produced goals at both ends of the pitch.
• Four of Burnley's last six league games have ended in draws, three of which ended 1-1. Newcastle have only won one of their last six away games (within 90 minutes) in all competitions which is another reason we have backed a 1-1 draw this weekend.
• Three of the last four head-to-heads between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals, while four of the host's last six fixtures have witnessed fewer than three goals.

• HOME: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
• DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
• AWAY: 21/20 (2.05) – 48.8%

Player to watch – Dara O'Shea

Burnley's Dara O'Shea has impressed in his debut season with the club after making the step up from the Championship at West Brom.

The Irish defender as been very consistent at the back for Vincent Kompany's side but has also chipped in with a couple of league goals. However, it's creatively where O'Shea has shined with the 25-year-old providing four assists this season, more than any other Burnley player.

The Irish defender has been excellent this season

If Burnley are going to get anything out of this game then O'Shea is going to have to be at his best at both ends of the pitch as Newcastle have some fantastic attacking talent and the hosts are likely to need at least one goal to even secure a point this weekend.
