Newcastle Unitedwill take on Brentford in their next Premier Leaguematch at St. James' Park on Saturday. The Magpies have lost three league matches in a row - against Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton - and will be desperate to pick up a win.
Brentford's last two league games have ended as stalemates and will be hoping to return to winning ways. Mathias Jansen and Brian Mbeumo scored the goals but Brentford were held by Bournemouth at home in their last outing.
Eighth-placed Brentford and 14th-placed Newcastle have both won only one game so far in the league this term. But Saturday's visitors have remained unbeaten and that gives them a slight advantage in terms of form. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
