• Venue: St. James' Park

Newcastle are coming into this match with a strong run of form, having secured two wins and a draw in their last five games. Their recent performances against top teams like Manchester City and Tottenham suggest they have the confidence and momentum to take on Burnley. With a predicted 4-3-3 formation, Newcastle's attacking trio of Gordon, Woltemade, and Barnes could pose a significant threat to Burnley's defence.

Burnley, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing all of their last five matches. Their inability to secure a win against teams like Crystal Palace and Arsenal indicates a lack of form and confidence. Despite this, they might look to exploit any weaknesses in Newcastle's defence, but it will be an uphill battle.

Newcastle have shown great resilience and form in their recent matches, drawing 2-2 against Tottenham at home and securing impressive wins against Everton and Manchester City. These results have boosted their confidence and momentum, particularly after their earlier losses to Brentford and West Ham. With this form, Newcastle are likely to approach the game against Burnley with high spirits and a strong belief in their ability to secure another victory.

• Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Livramento (DF), Thiaw (DF), Burn (DF), Hall (DF), Guimaraes (MF), Tonali (MF), Joelinton (MF), Gordon (AT), Woltemade (AT), Barnes (AT)

Newcastle are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Ramsdale in goal and a back four of Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, and Hall. This setup should provide a solid defensive base while allowing Guimaraes, Tonali, and Joelinton to control the midfield and feed the attacking trio of Gordon, Woltemade, and Barnes.

• Predicted lineup: Dúbravka (GK), Walker (DF), Ekdal (DF), Estève (DF), Hartman (DF), Tchaouna (MF), Cullen (MF), Luís (MF), Anthony (MF), Foster (AT), Flemming (AT)

Burnley are predicted to use a 4-4-2 formation, with Dúbravka between the posts and a defensive line of Walker, Ekdal, Estève, and Hartman. This formation should help them maintain a compact shape, with Tchaouna, Cullen, Luís, and Foster in midfield supporting the attacking duo of Anthony and Flemming.

• Barnes vs Walker: Harvey Barnes' pace and skill will test Kyle Walker's defensive capabilities.

• Tonali vs Luís: Sandro Tonali's midfield control will be crucial against Florentino Luís's work rate.

• Woltemade (Newcastle): Nick Woltemade's recent form and goal-scoring ability make him a key player for Newcastle.

• Tchaouna (Burnley): Loum Tchaouna's creativity in midfield could be vital for Burnley's chances.
