Comments and predictions for Brentford vs Newcastle United: Attacking game

Latest Brentford vs Newcastle United team information

Brentford travel to Villa Park with a weakened midfield, with Mathias Jensen and Christian Norgaard absent with "minor injuries." Their status for Saturday's game remains unclear. Kristoffer Ajer (foot) and Gustavo Nunes (back) are not ruled out but will undergo fitness tests closer to the hour. Josh Dasilva (knee), Rico Henry (knee) and Aaron Hickey (thigh) are all doubtful.

With a tight schedule, coach Thomas Frank may change the lineup. Igor Thiago, after three appearances from the bench, may start for the first time, playing in the striker position.

For Newcastle, striker Alexander Isak recovered from a fitness concern and played the full 90 minutes against Liverpool, leaving Callum Wilson still waiting for his chance to start. Kieran Trippier is absent due to illness and could miss the Brentford game again. Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Emil Krafth (shoulder) are still injured.

Manager Eddie Howe surprised by picking Jacob Murphy over Harvey Barnes on the right against Liverpool, but Barnes could be considered for the weekend. Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock could also rotate in midfield.

Latest Brentford vs Newcastle United football review

Brentford, who have been impressive at home in the Premier League this season, could not maintain their momentum away from home and lost to Aston Villa. The game at Villa Park was all but decided in the 34th minute, with Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash scoring, although Mikkel Damsgaard pulled Brentford back early in the second half. However, the goal was only a consolation.

Damsgaard's goal kept Brentford on a better goal difference than Newcastle, their next opponents, and kept them in the top half of the Premier League, at least until Thursday's games are over. After the defeat, Brentford will return to the Gtech Community Stadium looking to continue their fine home form, having picked up 19 points and scored 22 goals there this season.

Brentford have always been entertaining at home, scoring at least three goals in each of their last three games at Gtech, although they have yet to keep a clean sheet. Newcastle were the last visitors to win at Gtech, winning 4-2 at the end of the 2023-24 season. This was the fifth win in six Premier League meetings between the sides, the only other being a 3-3 draw in November 2021.

Newcastle drew 2-2 with Liverpool in a thrilling game and have not won in their last three Premier League games. If Fulham or Bournemouth win on Thursday night, Newcastle could drop into the bottom half of the table. Despite scoring in eight of their last nine away games, Newcastle will have a tough time against Brentford, who have conceded a lot of goals in recent away games in London. This could be a high-scoring affair at Gtech.
