Newcastle Predicted XI: Burnley (H)

Newcastle United will be looking for back-to-back wins when they host Burnley tomorrow night.

Just three days on from their impressive 2-0 win against Huddersfield, the Magpies will see this as a great opportunity to pull further clear of the relegation zone.

That result moved United up the 15th in the Premier League table and four points clear of the bottom three.

With Southampton not playing until Wednesday, Rafa Benitez’s side can move seven clear of the side sitting 18th and in the final relegation spot.

However, they face a difficult test against one of the in-form teams in the division.

Burnley are unbeaten in eight league games and are off the back of beating third-placed Tottenham on Saturday.

This leaves Sean Dyche’s team one place and two points above Newcastle with both sides’ relegation fears being eased in recent weeks.

Benitez has an interesting selection dilemma ahead of him given the short gap between games and potential need to rest players who have impressed so much.

Here is how we predict the Newcastle team to play Burnley:
