Some interesting comments from this BBC Sport pundit on Newcastle United.
Chris Sutton speaks ahead of tonight’s match.
Newcastle United versus Burnley at Turf Moor.
A 7.30pm kick-off on Tuesday evening as Eddie Howe and his players head into their final match of 2025.
With nine places but only six points separating 14th-placed Newcastle United and the top five, this is such a tight Premier League table.
United need to start winning quickly and by that I mean starting tonight.
With Palace and Leeds at St James’ Park next, followed by rock-bottom Wolves further afield, these next four Premier League games present a great opportunity.
Chris Sutton speaks about our opponents tonight and says: “Burnley have drawn their last two games but they really need a win as they are a bit adrift at the bottom, six points from safety.”
The reality is that Burnley had lost seven PL games in a row, then suffered a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth (who have now failed to win any of their last nine PL games) and Scott Parker’s side were awarded a goalless draw in their last game at home to Everton, but Burnley without a single effort on target.
The BBC Sports The expert adds that Newcastle United could also use a win, Sutton thinks: “It’s a strange team because they are playing quite well but not really getting results. I keep supporting them to win, so it costs me money too. I’m not going to stop though. I’m going for a rare away win for Eddie Howe’s side and this time they will keep a clean sheet.”
Hopefully Chris Sutton is right on both counts.
The BBC Sport man has predicted a 1-0 away win which would make it six wins in a row for Eddie Howe against Burnley as they won the previous five (home and away), scoring 11 and conceding just three.
