The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Burnley lock horns with Eddie Howe's Newcastle United side in an important clash at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Burnley vs Newcastle United Preview
Burnley are currently in 19th place in the Premier League standings and have struggled so far this season. The home side held Manchester United to an admirable 1-1 draw last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Magpies thrashed Sheffield United by a 5-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Burnley vs Newcastle United Prediction
Newcastle United have shown flashes of their ability so far this season but have been poor away from home this season. The Magpies have an excellent record at Turf Moor and have a point to prove going into this game.
Burnley have improved in recent weeks and face a relegation battle this month. Newcastle United are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
