Burnley host Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday as Steve Bruce's side try and pull away from the relegation zone.
Newcastle are currently 17th in the league, three points off Fulham in 18th. The Magpies have been in terrible form of late, having not won any of their last seven games.
Sean Dyche's Burnley have been performing as expected and are currently 15th on the table.
The Clarets are seven points off the relegation zone, with a win potentially taking them to 13th in the league. Burnley are also in terrible form, having won only one of their last seven games.
Both teams are in terrible form and are not playing particularly good football. This should make for a fiesty matchup.
Burnley vs Newcastle Head-to-Head
Newcastle have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides. The Magpies have won three of their last five league meetings, with Burnley only winning one.
Steve Bruce's side beat Burnley 3-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
