5123
There are some crucial games at both ends of the table in the Premier League this weekend including the meeting between Brentford and Newcastle United at the Brentford Community Stadium.
The hosts begin the weekend in 14th place on 24 points while the visitors are in 17th place on 22 points, so there is all to play for in terms of relegation.
Brentford come into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat at Arsenal on the weekend. Having held on for 0-0 at half-time, Brentford were disappointed to concede a goal early in the second half and a second goal 11 minutes from time.The Bees did manage to pull one back but it was too late to influence the game.
That result means Brentford have failed to win any of their last 8 matches in all competitions and each of their last 7 fixtures in the Premier League.
In fact, Brentford have recorded only one victory from their 10 most recent Premier League games, losing 8 of those 10 league matches.
Home form shows Brentford have won one of their last 5 Premier League fixtures and they have been struggling to keep clean sheets on home soil.
Brentford have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 6 home league matches and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 home league games.
Newcastle United make the trip to the Brentford Community Stadium having picked up a good point in a 1-1 draw at West Ham United last weekend.
Having fallen a goal behind in the 32nd minute, Newcastle United enjoyed a good spell of the game just before half-time and scored the equaliser in the 45th minute. Come the end of the 90 minutes, The Magpies were fair value for their point.
That result means Newcastle United are undefeated in their 5 most recent games, all of which have come in the Premier League. They have beaten Everton and Aston Villa at home plus Leeds United away. There was also a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at home against Watford.
Away form shows some sign of improvement as Newcastle United have picked up 4 points from their last 2 away games. However, they have had trouble conceding goals and Newcastle United have kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 away Premier League matches.
Team news and Brentford are without the injured trio of Mathias Jensen, Tariqe Fosu, and Julian Jeanvier. Both Ivan Toney and Zanka will face late fitness tests.
Newcastle United have a significant injury list, including Kieran Trippier, Javier Manquillo, Jamal Lewis, Matt Ritchie, Isaac Hayden, and Callum Wilson. Ryan Fraser and Allan Saint-Maximin are doubts.
This is a massive game in the bottom half of the table and Brentford are being sucked into a relegation battle. Newcastle United are the form team coming into this match and could come away with a crucial win, with both teams scoring.
