When Newcastle play without Bruno Guimarães, they have suffered, and they are once again feeling the absence of the Brazilian international midfielder. Guimarães didn't play against Manchester City in the Magpies' most recent defeat, but Eddie Howe remains optimistic that he will be available for their next Premier League match against Brentford. Another key player Howe will certainly be without on Saturday is Joelinton, the Magpies' manager; therefore, he will have to rely on Tonali to unlock Newcastle's midfield.
Newcastle return to St. James' Park after their unsuccessful attempt to defend their EFL Cup title, being eliminated by Manchester City. Howe described his team's attacking performance as worrying, as their reputation for being strong at home has suffered a blow with the recent 2-0 defeats to Manchester City and Aston Villa.
Such circumstances suggest that Brentford could even take all three points from St. James' Park, something they haven't done since 1934. The Bees are coming off an improbable victory at Villa Park, where they incredibly managed to keep a clean sheet, winning 1-0 despite playing over 50 minutes with ten men after Schade's red card.

Our Newcastle vs Brentford Prediction
Brentford are averaging exactly one point per away game in 12 Premier League matches this season. In Matchday 11 in London, Newcastle United, with goals from Schade and two from Igor Thiago, overturned Barnes' opener to defeat Newcastle United in the first leg.
Wissa, the former Brentford player, now a Magpie, will be with Newcastle on Saturday, but Dango Ouattara will be playing for Brentford, and he has never lost in six previous matches against Newcastle.
Our prediction for Newcastle vs Brentford is: Brentford to win or draw.
