You can watch tonight’s tussle from 8:00pm on Sky Sports Premier League, but hang about here for all the match odds ahead of the big match…

Head-to-Head

Burnley were flying high in the league last season and they picked up four points from their encounters with the Magpies.

Jeff Hendrick’s 74th minute strike settled the tie at Turf Moor.

In fact, after a pair of draws in the 2014-15 season, you have to go back to the 6th November 1983 in the old Division Two for the last time Newcastle beat the Clarets.

For you football historians amongst us, Kevin Keegan, Imre Varadi and Chris Waddle scored in a 3-0 win.

Likely XIs

The influential Stephen Defour’s return to the first team could be a timely one.

Dyche could partner Sam Vokes and Chris Wood in a bustling attack. Aaron Lennon and Robbie Brady should be the wing-men.

Benitez will be sweating on the fitness of captain Jamaal Lascelles, midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and Yoshinori Muto.
