The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford take on Eddie Howe's impressive Newcastle United side in a crucial encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.
Brentford vs Newcastle United Preview
Brentford are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have punched above their weight this season. The home side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United this week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been exceptional this year. The Magpies thrashed West Ham United by a comprehensive 5-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

- Newcastle United have a good record against Brentford and have won 10 of the 15 matches that have been played between the two teams, as opposed to Brentford's four victories.
- Brentford lost the reverse fixture by a comprehensive 5-1 margin and are winless in the three games that they have played against Newcastle United in the Premier League so far.

Brentford vs Newcastle United Prediction
Newcastle United have a robust squad at their disposal and are only a few good results away from securing their place in the top four. Eddie Howe has managed to get the best out of his players and will need his stars to step up yet again this weekend.
Brentford can pack a punch on their day and are particularly impressive on their own turf. Newcastle United are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
