Newcastle United v Brentford – Premier League live

Early on Harvey Barns sent a long-range effort just wide and VAR spent a lengthy spell reviewing a challenge that looked like Kieran Trippier tugging back Lewis-Potter, a moment that left Newcastle fortunate as play continued. Newcastle arrive after four games without a win, three of those against PSG, Liverpool and Manchester City, and sit 11th — three points behind Brentford.

A two-goal victory tonight would draw Eddie Howe’s side level with the Bees, and the return of Bruno Guimarães to midfield is a welcome boost; Anthony Gordon remains unavailable with a hamstring problem. Team news: Newcastle start Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Guimarães, Tonali, Willock; J.

Murphy, Wissa, Barnes. Subs include Ramsdale, Osula, Elanga, Woltemade, Burn, A. Murphy, Ramsey, Shahar, Neave. Brentford name Kelleher; Kayode, Van den Berg, Ajer, Henry; Henderson, Janelt; Ouattara, Jensen, Lewis-Potter; I. Thiago, with Valdimarsson, Hickey, Pinnock, Nelson, Yarmoliuk, Collins, Damsgaard, Donovan, Furo among the substitutes.
