Brentford suffered only their sixth league-defeat of the season against United in the mid-week, courtesy of Marcus Rashford’s lone goal in the first-half. Nevertheless, only the top three teams in the standings, have recorded fewer defeats than the Bees in the league this term. Meanwhile, a run of just two wins from eight Premier League matches has dented Thomas Frank’s side’s European aspirations somewhat, as they are level on points with eighth placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand, and one behind seventh-placed Aston Villa, potentially occupying the final European spot. Meanwhile, Brentford’s home-from has been very good this season, having lost just one of their 14 league-games at Gtech Community Stadium, while collecting 27 points from possible 42 in front of their own supporters.
Newcastle, on the other hand, put five goals past a woeful West Ham at London Stadium on Wednesday night, thanks to braces from Callum Wilson and Joelinton and one goal from Alezander Isak. It was Eddie Howe’s side’s fourth consecutive victory, with his men scoring 11 goals and conceding just three in that period. Meanwhile, Newcastle secured a dominant 5-1 victory over the Bees in the reverse fixture in October last year, courtesy of a double from Bruno Guimaraes, one goal each from Jacob Murphy and Miguel Almiron and a 90th-minute own goal by Ethan Pinnock.
Brentford probable starting lineup: Raya, Jansson, Pinnock, Mee, Hickey, Norgaard, Jensen, Janelt, Henry, Mbeumo, Toney
Newcastle United probable starting lineup: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Wilson, Saint-Maximin
