Newcastle United will host Burnley at St. James' Park in the Premier League on Saturday. Newcastle have recorded five wins and suffered five defeats in 14 league games thus far. The visitors, meanwhile, have suffered 10 defeats.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last three league outings. After a comfortable 4-1 away triumph over Everton last week, they were held to a 2-2 home draw by Tottenham Hotspur midweek. Substitutes Bruno Guimarães and Anthony Gordon scored late in the second half, but Cristian Romero's brace helped Tottenham take home a hard-earned point.
The Clarets' losing streak extended to five games in the league on Wednesday as they suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace. They failed to score for the third straight home game.
