The home side have struggled lately in the premier league, they drew against Everton in their last match at home but Burnley would want to forget the 3-2 defeat against Fulham earlier this month as they head into the Match-Day 19 fixture against the Magpies.

Newcastle themselves have not faired better as they lost their last away match. The Magpies lost 1-0 to Manchester United on Boxing Day and would want to finish 2025 on a high with a victory.

Burnley reminded fans how they defended against Everton during their last home match via their official X handle. They are hoping for another feisty performance against Newcastle. Watch video below.

Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts and Axel Tuanzebe unavailable for Burnley, while centre-halves Maxime Esteve and Joe Worrall are doubts. It’s likely Josh Laurent, Hjalmar Ekdal and Bashir Humphreys continue in a back three, flanked by wing-backs Kyle Walker and Lucas Pires.

The Clarets will be forced into a change in the centre of the park after Josh Cullen suffered a knee injury against Everton, though Florentino Luis should be on hand to join Lesley Ugochukwu in midfield.

For Newcastle, Dan Burn, Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman and Tino Livramento are all ruled out of this clash through injury.

The Magpies are hoping to have the majority of their injured stars back in January, but Howe is likely to use Lewis Miley as an auxiliary right-back in the meantime, starting the youngster alongside Malick Thiaw, Fabian Schar and Lewis Hall.

Swedish star Anthony Elanga and striker William Osula are working their way back from a knock and an ankle issue respectively, so Nick Woltemade is set to be supported by Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy in attack on Tuesday night.
