Game Prediction: Burnley 0-2 Newcastle

Burnley appear to be heading in the right direction with notable draws against Bournemouth and Everton in their last two outings, but it's wins they desperately need with the gap to safety currently six points.

Newcastle need a similar run of form, having dropped nine points behind the top four, following just three wins from their last nine outings, including Friday's defeat at Old Trafford. Despite that lack of form, I'm backing the Magpies to edge this one, as they desperately need the win and have far more quality than their opponents.

Newcastle have to win. They need to stop this run of poor form, and only a dominant victory here will appease the fans. They will need to take an early lead and assert their dominance, and look to keep their first clean sheet in the league since beating Nottingham Forest at home in October. They have been used to going up early on Burnley and holding that lead in the past, and will look to do the same here.
