Burnley head to St James’ Park looking to get back on track after losing for a fifth straight game on Wednesday night, with Crystal Palace emerging 1-0 victors at Turf Moor.
It means the Clarets remain 19th in the Premier League table, but are now four points adrift of the safety line.

During the losing run, Parker has opted to switch things up, whether that’s formation or the players he selected.
Against Palace, he named two strikers in attack, with both Lyle Foster and Zian Flemming playing down the middle. Will he stick with that approach against the Magpies? Or look to tinker once again?
Here’s how we expect the Clarets to line up:
