Desperate to keep their Champions League aspirations on track, Newcastle United will meet Brentford at St. James' Park for Tuesday's Premier League showdown.

Newcastle went into their two-week break due to international duties in perfect spirits, having finally putting an end to their seven-decade-long trophy drought with a stunning 2-1 triumph over holders Liverpool in the iconic Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

In the last weekend before the March international break, Brentford were busy with Premier League action, which they executed to perfection as they came from behind to defeat Bournemouth 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium, allowing them to keep their European dreams still alive.

This will be the third time this season that the two teams lock horns, and we're confident they'll serve up another "fireworks of goals" like the previous two, with Brentford winning the league clash 4-2, only for the Magpies to strike back with a 3-1 victory in the EFL Cup. With Nick Pope between the posts, Newcastle’s goal has been anything but secure, as his record of just four clean sheets in 18 appearances has earned him the unwanted distinction of being the most frequently beaten goalkeeper in the Premier League. In general, Eddie Howe's men have struggled to keep things tight at the back in recent times, having avoided conceding in just two of their previous 11 matches acros all competitions. As such, there is no doubt that the Magpies' rearguard will face a stern test in the form of a Brentford side that has been on fire in their recent away outings, with their 2-1 beating of Bournemouth marking their fifth straight road success, during which they have hammered 14 goals past opposing defenses. At the same time, taming Newcastle's frontline with the ever-dangerous Alexander Isak at the helm will be hard to imagine, especially considering the Bees posses one of the leakiest defenses in the entire Premier League, as they were able to muster just five shutouts from 29 top-flight matches this season. As we can see, both sides offer little in terms of defensive end, but with their sharp eye for goal, the crowd at St James' Park should be treated to an open and highly entertaining contest where the nets are bound to ripple at both ends.
