Newcastle United will head to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford on Saturday, aiming to build on their strong midweek performance. The Magpies earned a 3-3 draw against Liverpool in the Premier League and will be confident of securing a positive result against Brentford if they can replicate that level of performance.
Brentford, on the other hand, come into this match after a loss to Aston Villa and will try to make a solid rebound. The Bees have been fairly solid in recent weeks, sitting in 11th place in the league. They will be looking to break into the top half with a win in front of their supporters.
