Newcastle and Brentford face-off in the Saturday evening kick-off. The Bees come here after three wins in their last four Premier League matches away from home.
As for Newcastle, Eddie Howe's side suffered a heavy semi-final defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, having now lost three of their last four matches.
The history of this fixture has been dominated by the home side at St. James' Park, though Brentford will see this as a great opportunity to pick up a rare win here, having failed to do so in over 90 years.

Low-Risk: The Geordies have a strong record against Brentford at St. James' Park. They have won four consecutive matches against The Bees on home soil, unbeaten on the last six occasions. Despite their recent poor run of form, Newcastle are a force to be reckoned with at home, having won seven of their 12 Premier League matches here. Newcastle are expected to welcome the return of midfielder Bruno Guimares, having missed the last three games through injury. Newcastle have now not won any of the 10 Premier League matches that Guimares have missed, so safe to say his presence will be felt in the midfield.
On the topic of Brazilians, Brentford striker Igor Thiago is having a remarkable Premier League campaign. He has tallied 16 league goals in 23 starts, including a brace in the reverse fixture as The Bees claimed a 3-1 victory in November. Thiago has averaged 2.40 shots per 90 in the Premier League this season and we expect him to test a struggling Newcastle defence.
This fixture is often no short of entertainment, with goals for both sides in the last five meetings. With action comes corners and yes we have inlcuded the infamous corner selection in the bet builder. The two sides have tallied Over 8.5 corners on the last six occasions, so it just makes sense to include this in our low-risk bet.
High-Risk: I think it's about time we stop giving Newcastle so much credit, as this proposes a great opportunity for Brentford to put an end to the trend of defeats. Keith Andrews has done a stellar job since being appointed manager of The Bees, his side sitting just five points off the Champions League places. Brentford have already picked up some imprressive victories on the road, including a win away at Aston Villa last time out, having spent the majority of the game with 10-men. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher pulled out an inspiring peformance in victory, a great word to describe the Brentford side in this campaign.
A weapon at Newcastle's mercy is the speed of Anthony Elanga. The Swedish attacker put an end to his goal drought with a well taken goal against Manchester City in midweek, a finish that will give him the world of confidence coming into this game. Elanga will likely be up against Brentford fullback Rico Henry. Whilst being no slouch himself, Henry will have his work cut out to keep Elanga at bay. The 28-year-old has two cautions to his name in the league this season and we are banking on him to get a yellow in this one.
