THE PREDICTION
It has been a difficult start to the season for Burnley as they have had a whole host of injuries and they have been unable to make many signings so far. They were boosted by the return to fitness of key man James Tarkowski at the back in the midweek League Cup match and that will give them a big lift. They still look incredibly light on numbers and quality so they could be in for a long season unless they can make some good late signings before the window closes on Monday. They make the trip up to Newcastle and this will not be an easy game. Newcastle have been a little inconsistent themselves since they brought a number of newcomers into their side but the mood in the camp is good. Burnley will go back to basics and look to keep this tight so expect very few goals and under 2.5 is tempting with Tarkowski back in the side.
