Wednesday night’s match on Tyneside will be Newcastle’s first since their triumphant Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool ended the club’s 56-year trophy drought.

Eddie Howe’s side will return to action in the Premier League looking to break into the Champions League places, which they currently sit just one point shy of having played a game fewer than all of the teams around them.

The Magpies currently occupy sixth place but with only four points separating fifth from 10th, every point is crucial at this stage of the season and it can be just as quick to fall out of the European chase as it could be emerge as front runners for it.

Newcastle will return to action having won back to back games in response to losing three of their previous four ahead of their final stretch of 10 matches between now and the end of the season as they seek a return to the Champions League having missed out this season.

Brentford make the long trip north to Tyneside from the capital having lost only one of their last five matches, which has seen them climb to within three points of the top half of the Premier League table.

Thomas Frank’s side got back to winning ways in their last game before the international break in a hard-fought win at Bournemouth to end their run of two matches without victory, also giving them a third win in five in the process.

The Bees are still in with an outside chance of qualifying for Europe next season, with an eighth place finish currently expected to secured Conference League football, and the west London side currently only four points shy of that mark.

Brentford had picked up one point away from home in eight matches until Christmas, but head to St James’ Park having won their last five games on the road.

Newcastle have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions against the Bees, including earlier this season on their home patch in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup, but they did taste defeat in their last Premier League meeting back in December.
