Burnley will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 3-2 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Southampton.

In that match, Burnley had 45% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 5 on target. For Burnley, the scorers were Chris Wood (12') and Matěj Vydra (28'). On the other side, Southampton got 24 shots at goal with 9 on target. Stuart Armstrong (31'), Danny Ings (42') and Nathan Redmond (66') scored for Southampton.

It has not been often in recent games that Burnley have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that The Clarets have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 10 goals on the way. That pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this match, though.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Burnley:

• have not beaten Newcastle United in their last 2 matches in the league.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 5 league matches at home.
• haven’t won at home in the past 6 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

We’re tipping a 2-1 advantage for Burnley by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Should be an interesting one.
