Burnley Team News

The main concern for Burnley manager Sean Dyche is a hamstring injury for Chris Wood, who had to be substituted in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City last weekend. This means that Sam Vokes is likely to start up front, though he will have to shake off a niggle of his own. Club captain Tom Heaton is still missing, as are Jonathan Walters, Dean Marney and Nakhi Wells.

Newcastle United Team News

Rafa Benitez is not the type of manager to make wholesale changes to his side after a good result. The Magpies won 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace last weekend and thus the Spaniard may keep the same starting 11. However, match winner Mikel Merino was only on the bench last week, so he may come in to start in place of Isaac Hayden in midfield. Paul Dummett is the major injury for the Tyneside club, as Dwight Gayle is expected to be fit.

Burnley v Newcastle United Predictions

Sean Dyche will be happy with how his team have played so far this season, though they could have turned a few of the draws into wins. There have only been a combined total of 4 goals at Turf Moor all season, which is the lowest in the entire Premier League. Without star striker Chris Wood, do not expect there to be a bucket load of goals in this one.

Newcastle have been a mixed bag on the road. Disappointing 1-0 defeats at Huddersfield and Brighton have been counteracted by a 0-1 triumph at Swansea and a battling 2-2 draw at Southampton in a game they actually deserved to win. Rafa Benitez will set his side up to defend first and if that successfully gets them a point then it will be a job well done. The Magpies are not high scorers either, with striker Joselu missing a lot of chances.

There have been a quite a few draws at Turf Moor this season and this one looks like it may add to that list. The last time the sides met at this ground it was a 1-1 draw and that is the tip for this meeting too. Under 2.5 Goals looks like good value .
