Newcastle have won each of their last seven league meetings with Burnley, seeking a fourth successive victory at Turf Moor, despite having won only two of ten previous visits.
Burnley vs Newcastle preview
Will Newcastle United supporters have a rare away win to celebrate? On Boxing Day, in a bizarre match that lacked quality but could have gone either-way, the Magpies were beaten 1-0 by Manchester United at Old Trafford. This means that Eddie Howe's side have yielded just six points from nine Premier League away games to date, their sole victory come over Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium a month ago, losing five of their last six on the road.
Overall, since beating Burnley 2-1 at St James' Park a mere 24 days ago, Newcastle have collected just a solitary point from three outings, so are languishing down in 14th, having picked up six points fewer than at this stage last season. Thus, Howe's team are under big pressure to win this one.
As for Burnley, their need for points is even greater. On Saturday, the Clarets held Everton to a goalless draw, their second successive stalemate, having lost seven on the spin beforehand, the club's longest losing streak in the top division for 130 years.
Thus, now without a win in nine, dating back to October, Scott Parker's team remain 19th, six points from safety, taking on Brighton to begin 2026 on Saturday, before clashes with Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs, which certainly won't be easy. So, can the Clarets spark their survival bid into life, thereby adding to the Geordies' away day misery at Turf Moor on Tuesday?

Burnley team news
Axel Tuanzebe, Hannibal Mejbri and Lyle Foster are all at the Africa Cup of Nations, so Bashir Humphreys started for the first time this season at the weekend. Meantime Lucas Pires, who was sent off at St James' earlier this month, could once again get the nod over Quilindschy Hartman.
In attack, Armando Broja's late equaliser at Bournemouth a fortnight ago saw him lead the line, chosen over top-scorer Zian Flemming, so will that be the case again?
Burnley predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (5-4-1): Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Ekdal, Humphreys, Lucas Pires; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Bruun Larsen, Anthony; Broja.
Burnley player to watch vs Newcastle
Goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka remains a beloved figure at Newcastle, making 179 appearances for the club, named their player of the year in 2019/20, but can he now help defeat them?
Newcastle team news
Eddie Howe is very short of defensive options, considering Tino Livramento, Kieran Trippier, Emil Krafth, Sven Botman and Dan Burn are all sidelined, so Lewis Miley will continue to fill-in at right-back.
Elsewhere, Nick Pope was back on the bench on Boxing Day, but Aaron Ramsdale is expected to be donning the gloves for a ninth consecutive match.
In midfield, Jacob Ramsey started at Old Trafford, chosen over Joelinton and Joe Willock, so will he keep his place against the club who employ his brother Aaron?
Lastly, Bruno Guimarães will miss Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace if booked but, if he is able to avoid a caution, the threshold raises to ten after this match.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Burnley: (4-3-3): Ramsdale; Miley, Thiaw, Schär, Hall; Tonali, Guimarães, Ramsey; Murphy, Woltemade, Gordon.

Nick Woltemade's recent double against Chelsea means he has now scored nine times for Newcastle, so will he be the Geordie hero in Lancarshire?
Burnley vs Newcastle United prediction
Despite Newcastle well-documented miserable away form, we're backing the Magpies to win this one at Turf Moor, largely due to Burnley's own ongoing winless streak: Burnley 0-2 Newcastle United.
