- Richarlison remains their most reliable goal threat in the league with seven in 21 appearances.
- Newcastle have seen Tonali moved back into their midfield spine and it gives them greater depth and control over the game.
- The Magpies are currently on a run of one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five games, but they do possess a midfield star in Bruno Guimaraes, who has scored a team-best eight Premier League goals in 21 appearances.
Betting Insights

- Newcastle have an inferior away record in the top flight, also winning two, drawing four and losing six.
- Newcastle have conceded 16 goals in their 12 Premier League road matches, an average of 1.33 goals per game against.
