After a string of frustrating draws, Newcastle claimed their second win of the season last weekend against Fulham. The good news doesn't stop there for the Magpies, as Callum Wilson returned to the starting XI and even bagged the opening goal of the game. 

Even better, there are promising reports that tricky winger Allan Saint-Maximin could be available for the visit of Brentford to St James’ Park. However, record-signing Alexander Isak will, unfortunately, miss out due to a thigh problem that also prevented him from playing in West London. 

Brentford have also been dealt an injury blow ahead of traveling up to the northeast of England. Captain Pontus Jansson looks unlikely to make the long journey after picking up a hamstring injury during a goalless draw with Bournemouth. 

At least star striker Ivan Toney will be raring to score in front of the sold-out St James' Park crowd. The 26-year old forward spent three unhappy years on Tyneside where he only managed two first-team appearances. He scored in this fixture last season, and will definitely want to further prove to his former club that they were wrong to sell him on the cheap to Peterborough in 2018. 

Newcastle and Brentford both currently sit in the Premier League top 10 and will no doubt be very keen to ultimately finish there come the end of the season, making this an important game for both sides. 

Here's how they line up:

Newcastle: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Schar, Burn, Longstaff, Willock, Almiron, Guimaraes, Murphy, WIlson

Brentford: Raya, Hickey, Mee, Pinnock, Henry, Jensen, Ajer, Baptiste, Mbuemo, Toney, DaSilva
