Grabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Manchester United will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Burnley.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Manchester United, who had 27 shots on goal with 10 on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Vincent Kompany will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games.  

There will be mixed feelings from The Clarets, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.

In their last match Newcastle United enforced their superiority over Sheffield United with a 5-1 home win.  They came away from that fixture with a 59% share of the possession and clocked up 20 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Sheffield United, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.  

Manager Eddie Howe will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

Alexander Isak will be looking forward to more goals after clocking up an impressive 7 goals in the past 6 league matches for Newcastle United.
