Newcastle travel to Brentford today after tallying a well-deserved point against league leaders Liverpool on Wednesday. While it’s been a rollercoaster start to the campaign, Newcastle can do themselves a lot of good with a victory over the Bees; a club they’ve had a lot of away success against recently.
This is the team Eddie Howe has selected for today’s clash. It has two changes from the midweek draw with Harvey Barnes and Sean Longstaff in for Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali.

A win should see Newcastle comfortably placed in the top ten with a platform to build upon. However, the Brentford will be eager to carve the same path for themselves. A top performance is needed to get Newcastle on track for a push for Europe.
Howay The Lads!

Comment #47Even if we got a 150 million for iask we would never get a center forward as good as him.
That why arsenal and Chelsea are sniffing round they no how good he is.

Comment #64Pope looks so poor lately, be barely dives or jumps. Also Schar cannot defend, he should be marking much closer. Poor mistake by Barnes as well but still. Isak is way too good for these teammates

Comment #72Close game like this and Barnes casually gives it to the opponent allowing them to score an easy goal. its just unbelievable. games like this we need to be winning and we somehow find ourselves 2-1 down against a bang average Brentford because of a fu-king Harvey Barnes howler.

Comment #80That Barnes is a great player.
Terrible pass by him for the Brentford goal, but thankfully he’s made amends.
