Newcastle United have won six of their last seven meetings with Burnley, including each of the last four, seeking five successive victories over the Clarets for the first time in 70 years.
Burnley have not won any of their last 11 visits to Tyneside, counting an EFL Cup shootout win as a draw, their most recent league victroy at St James' Park coming in 1976.
Newcastle vs Burnley preview
Just when it looks as though Newcastle United are starting to build momentum, they stumble, so can Eddie Howe's team start a crucial week with a win? Last weekend, the Magpies finally won a first Premier League away game since 7 April, smashing Everton 4-1; Malick Thiaw scoring twice at Bramley-Moore Dock. However, on Tuesday, despite leading twice through Bruno Guimarães and then Anthony Gordon's late spot-kick, the Toon Army were frustratingly held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham on Tyneside, with Spurs equalising in the 95th minute.
Having won five and lost five so far, Newcastle sit 12th in the Premier League table, very much yet to find consistency. Still to come this week, the Magpies will face Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League at the BayArena on Wednesday, before traveling to the Stadium of Light for the Tyne–Wear derby against Sunderland next Sunday. Thus, can Newcastle get back to winning ways here?
As for Burnley, they remain in the relegation zone, now four points from safety, in desperate need of points. On Wednesday night, the Clarets were beaten again, this time defeated 1-0 by Crystal Palace at Turf Moor, despite mustering 11 shots to the Eagles' three.
As a result, that's now five defeats in succession for Scott Parker's team, failing to score in each of their last three at home. With games against Fulham, Bournemouth and Everton coming up next, there are opportunities for Burnley to pick up points, albeit they're unlikely to do so on Tyneside.

Newcastle team news
With Nick Pope sidelined due to a groin injury, Aaron Ramsdale is set to start a third successive Premier League match in goal. Defenders Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman are both sidelined, so an unchanged back four is forecast, albeit Fabian Schär could come in.
Teenager Lewis Miley has started both matches this week, with Bruno Guimarães replacing Sandro Tonali at half time on Tuesday, as Eddie Howe seeks to balance everyone's workload.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Burnley: (4-3-3): Ramsdale; Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Barnes, Woltemade, Gordon.
Newcastle player to watch vs Burnley
Anthony Gordon scored his first Premier League goal since 15 January in mid-week, converting a spot-kick against Spurs, so will this restore his confidence ahead of this one?
Burnley team news
Scott Parker switched to a rather attacking 4-4-2 for the visit of Crystal Palace, Lyle Foster partnering Zian Flemming in attack, but will he be quite so adventurous here?
If he goes more defensive, Lesley Ugochukwu will return to midfield. After Axel Tuanzebe picked up a knock at Brentford, Hjalmar Ekdal came into defence on Wednesday, set to deputise again, while Kyle Walker will sit out next weekend's clash with Fulham if carded.
Burnley predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-3-3): Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Ekdal, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Florentino Luís, Tchaouna, Anthony; Flemming.
Burnley player to watch vs Newcastle
Zian Flemming has scored four goals across Burnley's last three Premier League away games, bagging a brace at Wolves during their last victory, so could he be their hero at St James' Park?
Newcastle vs Burnley prediction
We cannot see beyond a routine Newcastle United victory on Tyneside, likely to prove far too strong for a Burnley team lacking quality across all areas of the pitch: Newcastle United 2-0 Burnley.
