Newcastle United and Brentford square off against each other at St. James’ Park in the closing match of Saturday’s program.
The Magpies aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Brighton and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Bees.
Newcastle United are on a three-match losing run in the national championship, but this game could be the turning point for Eddie Howe’s troops.
Midfielder Joe Willock remains in the recovery room as well as defender Emil Krafth, but Javier Manquillo should be fit for the match.
Miguel Almiron is a major doubt after suffering a muscle injury in Paraguay’s goalless draw with Peru.
The capital club, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth before the international break.
Ivan Toney remains on the sidelines through suspension and seeing that Newcastle have turned their St. James’ Park into a real fortress, home win should be considered. The likes of Mikkel Damsgaard, Shandon Baptiste, and Joshua Da Silva are out of contention through injuries for the visiting side.
