This weekend's fixture could be a crucial one for Newcastle United as the Magpies face one of the sides they would dearly love to catch in the Premier League table.
An excellent run of recent form, including victories against Leeds United, Everton and Aston Villa before picking up an away draw against West Ham have taken Eddie Howe 's side out of the bottom three and Brentford sit just two points ahead, having played two more matches.
With that in mind, a win over the Bees could lift Newcastle further away from danger and pull Brentford back into serious danger.
