Here are a few other ‘interesting’ Burnley v Newcastle United related stats to be chewing over as you look forward to the game.

Newcastle United have won their last five Premier League matches against Burnley.

Burnley have won twice in the league against Newcastle United in over 41 years.

If Newcastle win today and make it six Premier League wins in a row against Burnley, it will be only the second time they have done this in the PL era.  NUFC also got six wins in a row against Spurs between 2006 and 2008.

At Turf Moor, Burnley have won just twice against Newcastle United in the top tier since 1974.

If Newcastle United win 2-0 today, they will have scored exactly twice as many (76 v 38) Premier League goals as Burnley have done so far this season.

Burnley have lost just one of their past eight Premier League games (Won 2 Drawn 5), going down 1-0 at Everton last month. Before the first game in this run, the Clarets were bottom of the table and 10 points from safety. Going into this weekend’s games, they are just two points behind 17th.

Burnley have scored less goals at home than any other Premier League club this season, only 17 in 17 games so far at Turf Moor.

Just 14 of Newcastle’s 53 Premier League points this season have come in away games, the lowest percentage of any side this term (26%).

Alexander Isak has scored 19 Premier League goals this season including nine in his past eight appearances. He could become only the fifth different Newcastle player to score 20 or more goals in a Premier League season, after Alan Shearer (four times), Andy Cole (1993-94), Peter Beardsley (1993-94) and Les Ferdinand (1995-96).
