Newcastle have won 13 of their last 16 meetings with Brentford, while the Bees' sole victory over the Magpies in nine attempts since being promoted did come the last time the pair met in West London, a 4-2 victory last December.
Brentford vs Newcastle preview
After ten Premier League fixtures, Brentford kick off above Newcastle, something few would've forecast before a ball was kicked, but will that still be the case come Sunday evening?
Brentford were beaten 2-0 by Crystal Palace last weekend, defeated in a game that could have gone either way, with Nathan Collins scoring an unfortunate own goal at Selhurst. Before that though, Keith Andrews' side had won three out of four, enjoying memorable home wins over Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as demolishing hapless West Ham at the London Stadium.
This all means the Bees are 12th with 13 points on the board, exactly where they were this time last year, suggesting Andrews is doing a good job following in Thomas Frank's footsteps. Well, a year ago today, in their 11th match of that campaign, Brentford beat Bournemouth 3-2 in West London, and they'd be delighted for this one to produce a similar outcome.
As for Newcastle United, it is now 216 days and eight matches since they won a Premier League away game, hoping to change that fact in the capital. Last Sunday, despite taking a very early lead through Jacob Murphy, Eddie Howe's side were inexplicably beaten 3-1 by struggling West Ham at the London Stadium, with Sven Botman's calamitous own goal epitomising their miserable afternoon.
The Toon Army have therefore seen their side collecting just three points and score only two goals in five Premier League away games to date. In contrast, Newcastle remain imperious at home, claiming another victory on Tyneside in mid-week, beating Athletic Club Bilbao 2-0 in the Champions League. Dan Burn and then Joelinton the scorers on Wednesday night. That made it three successive Champions League victories, all without conceding, ahead of a trip to Stade Vélodrome to face Marseille later this month. Before then, can the Magpies end their barren away league run?

Brentford team news
Unlike their visitors, Keith Andrews has had over a week to prepare for this fixture, so can he conjure up a master plan?
In a Thomas Frank-esque move, Andrews often switches to a back five in tough games, so it'll be interesting to see how he views Newcastle. If he sticks with a back four, Dango Ouattara will keep his place in attack; Nathan Collins and Kevin Schade are both one yellow card away from suspension.
Brentford predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-3-3): Kelleher; Kayode, Collins, van den Berg, Ajer; Henderson, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Ouattara, Schade, Thiago.
Brentford player to watch vs Newcastle
Igor Thiago has seven goals to his name so far this season, bagging three in his last three at home, so can he further improve that ratio?
Newcastle team news
Eddie Howe remains without Tino Livramento and Yoane Wissa, the latter, who joined Newcastle from Brentford for £55 million on deadline day, still yet to debut due to a posterior cruciate ligament injury.
In better news, fit again Lewis Hall came off the bench on Wednesday, making his first appearance since 24 September due to a hamstring injury.
Bruno Guimarães did play 66 minutes against Athletic Club, despite struggling with illness, so the Brazilian will be hoping he feels better ahead of this trip to West London. Lastly, Harvey Barnes got the nod on the right-wing, but either Anthony Elanga or Jacob Murphy could come in this time.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Brentford: (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Gordon.

In the battle of the big number nines, Nick Woltemade has scored six goals since joining Newcastle, on target in away games against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Brighton, the Tony Bloom double, so will he fire Newcastle to victory in West London.
Brentford vs Newcastle prediction
We are not backing Newcastle to claim a first away league win of the season, forecasting a Brentford victory, believing fatigue could significantly hinder the away side: Brentford 2-1 Newcastle United.
