Two of the Premier League's bottom three teams go head-to-head over three vital points this weekend. The hosts Newcastle still haven't won a game this season and new manager Eddie Howe is still trying to apply his philosophy on the players, while Burnley are enjoying an unbeaten run in the Premier League and will be confident about their chances of winning this game.
Newcastle vs Burnley – Today's Top Tips
Burnley Double Chance
Burnley have already won at St James' Park this season, all be it on penalties, when the two clubs met in the League Cup back in August. Newcastle have failed to win any of their opening 14 league games so far this season, while Burnley are unbeaten in their last five league games having drawn with Wolves, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Southampton, while beating Brentford.
Under 2.5 Goals
Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last six meetings between these two clubs and we're expecting another tight and tense 90-minutes on Saturday. Four of Newcastle's and three of Burnley's last six outings in all competitions have also witnessed fewer than three goals scored, so you can see why we're not backing this game to be a goal-fest.
Cornet to Score
Maxwel Cornet has possibly been Burnley's best player since arriving from Lyon in the summer. The former left wing-back has been deployed in a much more advanced role under Sean Dyche and it has proven a masterstroke. The Ivory Coast international has scored 5-goals in the league already this season, top-scoring for Burnley, and we're backing the 25-year-old to find the back of the net against a leaky Newcastle defence.

Newcastle still chasing first league win of the season
Newcastle were reduced to 10-men after just 9-minutes of their home game against Norwich, so their fans might have feared the worst for the remainder of the game. However, the two sides went in level at the break and just after the hour mark Newcastle were awarded a penalty which Wilson converted to make it 1-0. The 10-men of Newcastle looked as if they were going to secure their first win of the new season but Pukki hadn't read the script, equalising for the Canaries 11-minutes from time. While a draw with 10-men sounds like a good result, Newcastle and Eddie Howe were left frustrated by not holding onto their 1-goal advantage.
Burnley made the trip to high-flying Wolves on Wednesday night and managed to come away with a share of the spoils as the game ended goalless. Burnley are now just 3pts behind Watford and could move out of the relegation zone with a win this weekend.
Team News
