Newcastle United play host to Burnley this weekend when the Clarets visit St. James's Park for Premier League action. The home side are tenth in the table after collecting four points from their opening three matches. Their most recent outing saw them steal a point from Spurs when they were awarded a contentious penalty in stoppage time for an unintentional handball. Callum Wilson converted the spot-kick and Newcastle got a 1-1 draw from a game in which they hardly created a chance. Steve Bruce, speaking like a man who couldn't excuse his team's flaws, sympathised with Spurs about the harsh result. Burnley are 18th in the table after losing their first two matches of the campaign. Defeats to Leicester and Southampton mean that they are searching for their first points of the season. Unbeaten against Newcastle in two matches, they may find joy when they visit the Magpies.

Games between Newcastle and Brighton don't tend to get the pulse racing; eight of their last ten encounters featured fewer than three goals. Chris Wood opened his account in the defeat to Leicester and could add to it here, having scored the winner in a victory over Newcastle last season. Newcastle have failed to win their last five home games in the league, an inviting record for guest sides. Burnley are unbeaten in four of their last five away matches in the league. They have failed to win on their last four trips to this stadium but could capitalise on their opponents' rotten home form. Back Burnley draw no bet.
