The Magpies were the better team throughout the 90 minutes and deserved to come away with maximum points.

Newcastle are without the injured quartet of Javier Manquillo, Joseph Willock, Jamal Lewis, and Isaac Hayden. They also have doubts over the fitness of Chris Wood, Fabian Schar, and Jonjo Shelvey.
This is a massive game for Burnley. A draw could be enough to see them escape relegation if Leeds United fail to win their match. However, Burnley cannot afford to rely on Leeds United slipping up and are facing a Newcastle United team full of confidence following their win over Arsenal.
We should see goals in what is going to be a dramatic game, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals in total. If Newcastle United play like they did against Arsenal, it is going to be tough for Burnley who could come out second best, relying on Leeds United to lose to stay up.
