The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Brentford take on Eddie Howe's Newcastle United side in an important encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have flattered to deceive this season and have a point to prove this weekend.

Brentford vs Newcastle United Preview

Newcastle United are in seventh place in the Premier League standings and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Magpies slumped to a damaging 3-2 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Brentford, on the other hand, are in 16th place in the league table and have failed to meet expectations this season. The home side defeated Bournemouth by a narrow 2-1 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this match.

Brentford vs Newcastle United Prediction

Newcastle United have been unable to replicate their heroics from the previous season and will need to return to the drawing board in the coming months. Stars such as Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon can be lethal on their day and will look to prove their mettle this weekend.
