Match days thread - Burnley v NUFC

[Toondes]

Sunday sees Newcastle face The Clarets at Turf Moor in a Noon kick-off, shown live on Sky Sports.

Following a 3-1 success at SJP in October, United go in search of a second PL win double of the season, having taken six points off Everton.

The Magpies will wear their yellow change kit.

Coral rate an away win at 23/10 with a Burnley success priced at 27/20. The draw comes in at 21/10 with 0-0 13/2.

Burnley have scored exactly one goal in each of their last five home meetings with Newcastle. The odds on them doing that again are 31/20.

Newcastle win 1-0, Wilson scorer is 16/1.

NUFC: Speaking on Friday, Steve Bruce confirmed that Jamaal Lascelles had suffered a suspected stress fracture in his foot and would be missing on Sunday. Depending on the results of further scans, his season could be over.

The ailments that prevented Andy Carroll, Ciaran Clark, and Federico Fernandez from featuring against Spurs have eased.

Isaac Hayden and Fabian Schar Miss out, while it doesn't sound like Ryan Fraser will be risked.

Callum Wilson will be in the squad after training without incident this week. We've failed to win any of the seven games he's missed through injury.

BFC: Robbie Brady, Kevin Long and Ashley Barnes miss out but Erik Pieters and Phil Bardsley are available again.

After a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa at Turf Moor in last January, Sean Dyche's side lost to Manchester City and then drew their next five PL home games, against Brighton, Fulham, West Bromwich Albion, Leicester City and Arsenal.

Their record of conceding 16 PL goals at home this season matches that of Chelsea and is only bettered by Manchester City (13) and Spurs (14).

Referee: Anthony Taylor - a quick return to match action involving Newcastle after controlling our 0-3 loss at Brighton.

Mancunian Taylor's only other Magpie shift this season was the 1-2 home defeat by Leeds United.

He also took charge of our most recent victory at Turf Moor, a 2-1 success back in November 2018.

Upcoming PL fixtures:

Working on the premise that Brighton, Newcastle or Fulham will accompany West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United into the Championship, here's how, when and where that will be decided:

Sat 17.04.2021:
Newcastle v West Ham (12.30pm) Sky

Sun 18.04.2021:
Arsenal v Fulham (1.30pm) Sky

Tue 20.04.2021:
Chelsea v Brighton (8pm) Sky

Sat 24.04.2021:
Liverpool v Newcastle (12.30pm) BT
Sheffield United v Brighton (8pm) Sky

From this point, the precise scheduling of all games except the final day is tbc:

Sat 01.05.2021 tbc:
Brighton v Leeds United
Chelsea v Fulham
Newcastle v Arsenal

Sat 08.05.2021 tbc:
Fulham v Burnley
Leicester City v Newcastle
Wolves v Brighton

Tue 11.05.2021 tbc*:
Brighton v West Ham

Wed 12.05.2021 tbc*:
Newcastle v Manchester City
Southampton v Fulham

Sat 15.05.2021 tbc*:
Brighton v Manchester City
Newcastle v Sheffield United
Manchester United v Fulham

Brighton v Manchester City would be postponed in the event that Manchester City participated in the FA Cup Final this weekend - and were City to progress into the last four of the Champions League then it would further complicate when they would face the Seagulls.

The CL Semi-Finals are on Tuesday 27th & Wednesday 28th April (first leg) and Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th May (second leg).

Sun 23.05.2021:
Fulham v Newcastle (4pm)
Arsenal v Brighton (4pm)

* The possibility of altering the order and timing of these games exists in event that fans return to stadia from May 17th. The fixture changes would facilitate each club playing a home game in front of fans in the final week of the season.

Glad I'm missing this. Bound to be an awful game.

[bodacious benny]

I missed the Spurs game which sounded decent but it I’ll be watching this one

[lassassinblanc]

Massive massive game considering Fulham result last night. Really need in my view pick up at least a point here to move at least a two fame gap between ourselves and Fulham.

Obviously a win would be brilliant and would definitely pull Burnley back in

[Speedo]

Yep huge game, anything less than a win is a disappointment. Must capitalise on the advantages Fulham have given us - they should be dead and buried at this point.

[Colly]

I've got my Covid jab at 11:30 so I'm missing this one unless I get back quickly. Normally that would annoy me but it's been a painful season.

Burnley will be saying the same . I'm just hoping we don't go and do the usual surrender . Any news on Wilson ?

[bodacious benny]

If we don’t get something today then the improved performance and point v Spurs is meaningless. There’s no point turning it on for a game against one of the top sides but then slumping to defeat against teams like Brighton, Palace, Sheffield Utd etc etc.

[bodacious benny]

[Crouching Shola Hidden Talent]

This game is huge imo. Burnley win and they are all but safe, if we win then they are pulled right back into it and it'll be no bad thing to have another team involved in the scrap at the bottom.

It'll no doubt be tight and probably scrappy, I just hope that some of the more encouraging performances from the Spurs game are taken into today. Pleased to see Murphy and Ritchie remain in the WB positions but I feel for Willock - he's looked good when he's played.

Willock will come on, run around a bit and try and score a goal.

Two more things than Shelvey will contribute then

[bodacious benny]

No Pope for Burnley is a bonus.

This. It's a shame Willock missed out.. I did want to see him start over Longstaff/Shelvey as he gives us so much energy, legs & pace in the middle. But he proved to be a good impact sub when he came on against Spurs so if he does the same again today & contributes with a goal/assist then great. If ASM & Wilson are fit enough.. why didn't at least one of them start over Gayle?? Good too see Murphy & Ritchie keep there places as they were both excellent against Spurs. I hope Bruce doesn't leave it too long to make changes & even if it's a scrappy 0-0 after an hour if things anit working put Wilson / ASM on to go for the win.. I don't want ASM going in the last 10 or 5 mins & Carroll coming on in the 92nd minute as a time wasting sub. We need a win.. but sadly I feel Bruce will be happy with a point.

[UlversToon]

No Pope for Burnley is a bonus.

Joelinton would struggle to score if The Pope was in goal!

[Toondes]

Dubravka's distribution is awful. He constantly kicks long straight to the opposition putting us under pressure.

[Toondes]

f*** off man. Wake up you f***ing clowns

[Donkey Toon]

Bollox.

[UlversToon]

FFS!

[Toondes]

All our defence back and we couldn't pick up the man. Pathetic. Another limp display
