Christian Eriksen’s return will rightly take centre stage at Brentford Community Stadium. Anything he can produce in his minutes on the pitch would be a bonus. This has the feel of a classic six-pointer and the Bees will be in what had once seemed an unlikely battle against the drop if Newcastle take the points. Newcastle are unbeaten in six and will fancy themselves for another huge win that would drag them towards safety. Nick Ames
