TEAMS PREVIEW

Brentford FC Preview

Brentford’s 2-0 loss at Selhurst Park came against a side unbeaten at home in 10 games, so few were surprised by the result. Still, Keith Andrews knows there’s work to do — his team have lost four of five away games under him, a stark contrast to Thomas Frank’s solid record last season. 

The good news? They’re back at the Gtech, where they’ve been far stronger, and with the attacking trio of Igor Thiago, Ouattara, and Kevin — who’ve combined for 10 goals — Andrews will fancy his chances of a home rebound.

Stats that matter 

1. Brentford have won 11 of their last 17 home games in the league and have lost just once in all competitions this season.
2. The against Palace saw the Bees register their lowest xG (0.54) and joint fewest shots (6) in a game in 2025-26.
3. The Bees have scored from throw-ins in five of their last 11 league home matches, which is the most by a team in a year since Stoke City in 2008.

Team News 

Brentford are still sweating on Aaron Hickey’s fitness, with the midfielder set to miss out again. Meanwhile, Milambo has undergone ACL surgery and begins his long road to recovery. On the brighter side, Benjamin Arthur is back from injury and ready for Sunday’s clash.

Brentford Probable XI - Kelleher (GK); Ajer, Collins, Van den Berg, Kayode (Defenders); Vitaly Janelt, Henderson, Demsgaard (Midfielders); Thiago, Schade, Ouattara (Forwards)

Newcastle United Preview

Newcastle’s defeat at the London Stadium came as a real shock. The Magpies entered the game on a three-match winning streak across competitions, including a Carabao Cup victory over Spurs, but were undone by a struggling West Ham side in what was arguably their poorest display of the season. Now, with Brentford, Man City, Everton, and Spurs up next — plus two Champions League fixtures in between — a testing run awaits Eddie Howe’s men.

Stats that matter 

1. Newcastle have 12 points from their opening 10 matches of the season (W3, D3, L4), which is the fewest the side has managed at this stage under Eddie Howe.
2. The Magpies have gone without a win in their last eight Premier League matches (D4, L4).
3. Newcastle has managed to score at least once in the last 10 games in all competitions. 

Team News 

Newcastle’s injury woes have deepened, with Anthony Gordon and William Osula joining the list. While Osula is ruled out for Sunday, Gordon’s availability remains uncertain.

Newcastle United  Probable XI - N Pope (GK); Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn (Defenders) ; Joelington, Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes (Midfielders); Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade, Barnes  (Forwards) 

BRENTFORD FC vs NEWCASTLE UNITED
Winning Prediction

Despite last week’s league defeat, Newcastle head to the Gtech Community Stadium with renewed confidence after a 2-0 Champions League win over Athletic Club. The Magpies have had the upper hand in this fixture, but Brentford’s strong home form gives them a slight edge. One thing’s for sure — goals are guaranteed, with this matchup averaging the highest goals per game (4.1) among Premier League fixtures played at least eight times. 

As far as the odds are concerned, the bookmakers lean toward Newcastle, backed by their strong head-to-head record, with odds of 2.49 for a win compared to Brentford’s 3.00 and 4.52 for a draw. Still, given Brentford’s solid home form, backing the Bees wouldn’t be a bad shout.
