Newcastle had an excellent start to the 2023/24 season, putting five past Aston Villa on the opening weekend.
However, they have since lost their last three league matches on the bounce. Whilst this is not great for the Magpies, it is worth pointing out that those games were against Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton.
They face a slightly easier test in gameweek five vs a Brentford side who have won one and drawn three this term.
