The Magpies are back in Premier League action on Saturday, returning to London for a second successive weekend.

Their destination this time is the Brentford Community Stadium, facing the Bees in an old-fashioned, non-UK televised 3pm start.

Debuting at that venue in a 0-1 League Cup loss last season behind closed doors, this will be our maiden visit with a crowd.

It's also a new PL ground for Newcastle, becoming the 59th different venue that we've played at in that competition.

United go into the game looking to extend their unbeaten PL run to seven games - achieving that would be our best run of form in the top flight since in 2011.

NUFC: Kieran Trippier, Matt Ritchie and Callum Wilson remain unavailable but Javier Manquillo has returned to training.

while the fitness of Ryan Fraser and Allan Saint-Maximin is tbc, but the Frenchman looks unlikely to return, amid claims that he's back in his homeland for treatment on a troublesome calf problem.

BFC: Ivan Toney looks unlikely to return from injury to face his former side, but there could be a competitive Bees debut for Christian Eriksen.

The Dane last faced Newcastle when he was a second half substitute for Spurs in our 1-0 victory at their new ground in 2019.

Mathias Jensen and Julian Jeanvier are sidelined due to injury, but Mathias Jorgensen and Tarique Fosu both played in a behind closed doors game on Monday.

Since beating Aston Villa 2-1 at home in early January, the Bees have taken just one point from a possible 21.

On home ground this season, Brentford have won four times, drawn twice and lost the other seven.

Referee: Mike Dean - third time this season that we've encountered the Wirral whistler, following the 1-1 home draw with Leeds United and 1-3 loss at Liverpool.
