Newcastle United are back on track after a run of three straight defeats, and they will be looking to continue that momentum with maximum points against Burnley at St. James’ Park this weekend. The Clarets are still searching for their first league win of the campaign.
Premier League Preview
It wasn’t the best start to the new Premier League season for Newcastle, as questions were beginning to get asked surrounding Eddie Howe’s long-term future at the club. However, the Magpies have bounced back in excellent fashion since losing three on the bounce, as they have won each of their previous two in the Premier League.
Their most recent victory was an 8-0 success on the road against Sheffield United last Sunday. That victory was their biggest ever away win in the Premier League, and it was their biggest success of any description since a 8-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday in 1999. Eight different scorers found the net in that success, marking a new Premier League record.
Burnley have struggled to adjust to life back in the Premier League this term, as they are still searching for their first league win of the campaign. The Clarets looked incredibly short in the final third last weekend, as Man United eased to a 1-0 success at Turf Moor. A more dynamic showing in the final third will be required this weekend.
Burnley have typically been very slow starters in the Premier League, as they have failed to win in their opening five matches at the start of the season for the fifth time in nine seasons. Only Newcastle have started the season with an identical record on more occasions in Premier League history.

Newcastle have a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last four against the Clarets. That is a huge improvement in their favour, as they had previously recorded just four wins in the previous 16 league matches between the sides. However, Burnley are winless on their last nine visits to Newcastle.
Newcastle vs Burnley Prediction
Burnley’s away record in this fixture is incredibly challenging to overlook, as they are winless at St. James’ Park since a 1-0 win in April 1976. Therefore, we will be siding with the Magpies picking up another big win against a newly promoted rival in the Premier League.
