THE PREDICTION
Newcastle forced an unlikely 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham last time out thanks to a late equaliser that extended the gap between them and 18th-placed Fulham to three points, although that gap may have been cut by the time this match kicks off when taking into account that Fulham play Wolves two days earlier. Here Newcastle travel to Burnley, who sit four points above the Magpies knowing that a couple more victories will almost certainly see them safe from relegation. The three points represent a huge carrot for both sides and each will likely commit bodies forward in an attempt to win the game, rather than to sit back and avoid defeat first and foremost. With both teams scoring in the Clarets’ last four Premier League matches. It would be a surprise if the same outcome wasn’t to occur here.
