Newcastle United are today looking to follow up their impressive draw with Liverpool when they head to Brentford in the Premier League.

After a couple of disappointing results, Newcastle United burst back into life on Wednesday with a fantastic performance against Premier League leaders Liverpool.

It may have taken a last gasp Fabian Schar equaliser to get the draw but a point was the very least Eddie Howe’s side deserved from the match.

Alexander Isak was particularly sensational in the game and Newcastle will be hoping that form continues when they take on the dangerous Brentford.

Here is everything you need to know about the fixture.

Predictions

While Newcastle were excellent against Liverpool and have shown their quality against the biggest sides all season, they struggle to reach the same level against teams they should be beating.

Brentford lie somewhere in the middle. They sit higher than Newcastle in the table, have real quality and a great home record but they can be exposed and have inconsistent results.

If Newcastle’s current trend continues, this game has draw written all over it.

Prediction: Brentford 2-2 Newcastle.
