Match: Brentford v Newcastle
When: Sunday, 09 Nov 2025

Brentford Form

Brentford have jumped to 12^th in the EPL table after three wins in their last five matches. A 2-2 home draw with Chelsea has been a turning point in their season. They drew 1-1 at Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup and won on penalties before a 3-1 loss at Fulham.

A strong display saw a 3-1 win over Man Utd as they created six big chances. A 1-0 loss to Man City preceded a fine 2-0 win at West Ham with a 22-7 shot count. The Bees beat Liverpool 3-2 with 2.75 xG created, before smashing Grimsby Town 5-0. Their last match saw a 0-0 loss at Crystal Palace despite having 64% possession.

Brentford Team News

Aaron Hickey is back from Brentford to boost the fullback areas. Central midfielder Antoni Milambo is out long-term after knee surgery.

Keith Andrews is without Josh Dasilva in midfield and young centre back Benjamin Arthur. It could be an unchanged XI for this one.

Brentford Motivation

The Bees will focus on being solid in this match. Fast counters and set-pieces will be their focus, especially long throws.

A draw would be a good result, even at home. They won’t fear this version of Newcastle and should get plenty of joy going forward.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle have won six of their last eight matches in all competitions. They’re winless in their five away EPL matches this term with three draws and two defeats, with just five goals scored. After a late 2-1 home loss to Arsenal, they smashed Royal Union 4-0 away in the Champions League. A 2-0 home win over Nottingham Forest followed.

After losing 2-0 at Brighton, they beat Benfica 2-0 at home. A 2-1 league win over Fulham preceded a steady 2-0 home win in the Carabao Cup against Tottenham. They looked complacent in losing 3-1 away to a poor West Ham team, but bounced back in midweek. A 2-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao put them in a great position in the UCL Group Stage table.

Newcastle Team News

Newcastle’s attack is heavily depleted for this match. Antony Gordon went off injured in midweek and big-money signing Yoane Wissa is still out injured.

William Orsula is also set to miss out up front, where Jacob Murphy is set for a recall. Eddie Howe may consider a few changes with Lewis Hall and Anthony Elanga potentially getting starts. Tino Livramento is absent at right back.

Newcastle Motivation

Newcastle will go to Brentford and try to win. They won’t play for a draw, but might settle for one in the second half.

Eddie Howe’s approach has been hard to predict. He has switched to a back five in some away games and focused on a clean sheet.
