Burnley, languishing in the relegation zone with 12 points, are desperate for points to secure their Premier League status. Their home form offers some resilience, but their recent form has been poor, with seven key players sidelined due to injuries. Newcastle United, with 23 points, sits mid-table. Although they have a superior head-to-head record, their away form has been weak, managing only one win in their last five away games. Furthermore, six defenders are injured, and the goalkeeper and midfield core are doubtful, leaving their defence in tatters. Both teams face significant personnel issues, making the match between Burnley's relegation fight and Newcastle's depleted defence a compelling prospect. Newcastle United's defence is hampered by injuries, but they rely on Guimarães's midfield control. The attacking duo of Gordon and Barnes are highly effective on the counter-attack, and their set-piece plays provide an aerial advantage. Burnley is not only deep in the relegation zone, but also lacks attacking creativity, relying too heavily on individual efforts. They have also been winless for a long time, and their home defence is riddled with vulnerabilities. Newcastle won their first meeting this month, giving them a significant psychological advantage. Facing a depleted and offensively weak Burnley, Newcastle, with their efficient counter-attacks and solid strength, is expected to win away from home.
