Both Newcastle United and Burnley have spent time in the bottom three of the Premier League this season. They boosted their chances of avoiding relegation with good wins on Saturday. Newcastle had the easier of the tasks as they beat Huddersfield Town 2-0 at home. That's their third straight home win and the victory took them four points above the bottom three at time of writing. Only Manchester United have beaten them in their last five home league goals and their often leaky defence has kept three clean sheets in those matches.

Burnley had a terrible start to the season but have turned it around over the past couple of months. They got a great 2-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday extending their unbeaten league run to eight games. It's a massive improvement considering they had lost nine of the previous 11. They are now six points above the relegation zone and after this match, three of their next four league games are at home. Away form has seen Burnley win two and draw two of their last four including the 2-2 draw at Manchester United after leading 2-0. The tip here is to go for a double chance bet on Burnley to win or draw this match.
