This is likely going to be a bruising encounter against a billionaire's Burnley. Even when they were sh!t we have historically struggled to turn them over, but now they are a well drilled team who overcome their limitations with incredible fitness, aggression and energy. Bruno being out will be a big loss for them and there is the possibility that Trippier is out too. Those two absentees could swing things in our advantage, as they are probably their two best players by some margin.

Another draw would be a very respectable result, but I just feel that they might underestimate us at their peril. Maybe I'm still drunk on last night's late equaliser, but I think we might sneak this one 2-1.

Fabulous result for us last night.
BF.Sam used to always remind us to respect the point!!
Newcastle??
Challenging with their superb defensive record and I would be happy with another point, 1-1.

Newcastle have only conceded 2 goals in their last 10 PL games.
I believe Guimaraes might be missing.
Olise has the ability to give Dan Burn a really challenging time.

It's amazing how a draw against Man Ure results in an almost total change in our mindset.

I want to see what team PV puts out before finalizing a prediction. He said there will be changes on Saturday. I shall be furious if Hughes is dropped for Schlupp and/or if Tomkins comes in for Richards. Having given Will and Chris PL starts last night, they need to be given the manager's vote of confidence against Newcastle where their skills apparent from last night will be much needed.

I expect the game to be close as were the two games at their place earlier in the season (although we rode our luck on the league game).

If Hughes and Richards retain their place then I think we'll get something out of the game - hopefully a win (1-0?)

I predict Newcastle will not endear themselves to us. 0-1 to them. - a penalty.

Red and Blue Army!
