Overview
- Newcastle have managed just one Premier League away win this season, weakening their push to climb the table.
- Eddie Howe’s side have won only one of their last five league games and sit 14th going into the Turf Moor trip.
- Burnley are winless in the league since late October, though recent draws with Bournemouth and Everton included a rare clean sheet.
- Howe challenged his players to “stand up and be counted” to turn improved road performances into points.
- Scott Parker’s staff observed Newcastle at Old Trafford on Boxing Day, with Burnley seeking any edge as even a single point would aid survival hopes.
