• Fixture: Newcastle vs Burnley
• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: St. James' Park

Newcastle come into this match with a strong recent record, having secured two wins and a draw in their last five games. Their attacking prowess was evident in their 4-1 victory over Everton and a hard-fought 2-1 win against Manchester City. With a predicted lineup featuring Harvey Barnes and Anthony Gordon in attack, Newcastle should have the firepower to challenge Burnley's defence.

Burnley, on the other hand, have struggled recently, losing all of their last five matches. Their inability to score consistently, as seen in their 0-1 loss to Crystal Palace and 0-2 defeat to Arsenal, could be a significant concern against a confident Newcastle side. Despite this, they will look to players like Lyle Foster and Florentino Luís to make an impact in midfield and up front.

Match Prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Burnley

Newcastle have shown good form in their recent matches, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five games. Their victories against Everton and Manchester City highlight their ability to perform against strong opposition. The draw against Tottenham at home suggests they can hold their own even when not at their best. This form should give them confidence heading into the match against Burnley.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 2-2 vs Tottenham (H)
• Win: 4-1 vs Everton (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Manchester City (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Brentford (A)
• Loss: 1-3 vs West Ham (A)

Burnley's recent form has been poor, with five consecutive losses. Their inability to secure a win, coupled with low-scoring performances, indicates a lack of confidence and momentum. The team's struggles were evident in their 0-1 loss to Crystal Palace and 0-2 defeat to Arsenal. This poor run of form could make it challenging for them to compete against a more in-form Newcastle side.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 0-1 vs Crystal Palace (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Brentford (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Chelsea (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs West Ham (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Arsenal (H)

• Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Livramento (DF), Thiaw (DF), Burn (DF), Hall (DF), Guimaraes (MF), Tonali (MF), Joelinton (MF), Gordon (AT), Woltemade (AT), Barnes (AT)

Newcastle are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Aaron Ramsdale in goal and a back four of Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, and Hall. The midfield trio of Guimaraes, Tonali, and Joelinton should provide a solid base, allowing attackers Gordon, Woltemade, and Barnes to exploit spaces and create scoring opportunities.

• Predicted lineup: Dúbravka (GK), Walker (DF), Ekdal (DF), Estève (DF), Hartman (DF), Tchaouna (MF), Cullen (MF), Luís (MF), Anthony (MF), Foster (AT), Flemming (AT)

Burnley are predicted to use a 4-4-2 formation, with Dúbravka between the posts and a defensive line of Walker, Ekdal, Estève, and Hartman. The midfield quartet of Tchaouna, Cullen, Luís, and Anthony will need to work hard to control the game's tempo, while Foster and Flemming up front will look to capitalise on any chances created.

• Gordon vs Hartman: Anthony Gordon's pace and directness will test Quilindschy Hartman's defensive capabilities.

• Tonali vs Cullen: Sandro Tonali's midfield control will be crucial against Josh Cullen's tenacity and work rate.

• Barnes (Newcastle): Harvey Barnes' ability to score and create chances will be vital for Newcastle's attack.

• Luís (Burnley): Florentino Luís's role in midfield will be key to Burnley's chances of controlling the game.
