Newcastle v burnley clarets target third straight win

A great match-up in the Premier League! Here's a brief preview:

Newcastle United vs Burnley

Saturday, 3:00 PM GMT

Newcastle United are looking to make it three consecutive wins in the Premier League, while Burnley are seeking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat last time out.

Newcastle United

The Magpies have been in decent form lately, with two wins and a draw in their last three matches. They've been boosted by the return of key players like Miguel Almirón and Jonjo Shelvey, who have added some much-needed creativity to their midfield. Newcastle have also been solid at the back, with a clean sheet in their last two home games.

Burnley

The Clarets, on the other hand, have been struggling for consistency this season. They've won just one of their last five matches, and that was a narrow 1-0 victory over lowly Watford. Burnley have been plagued by injuries to key players like Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes, which has affected their attacking prowess. They'll need to find a way to break down Newcastle's defense if they're to get anything from this game.

Head-to-Head

Newcastle United have the upper hand in this fixture, with 14 wins to Burnley's 7 in 31 meetings. The Magpies have also won three of the last five encounters between the two teams.

Prediction

I think Newcastle United will continue their good form and secure a 2-0 win over Burnley. The Magpies have been solid at home, and Burnley's attacking woes will make it difficult for them to find the back of the net.
