Newcastle United vs. Brentford: How to watch, date, time, live stream and TV channel for Premier League clash

Separated by four places and three points, Newcastle United welcome Brentford to St James Park on Saturday night for another big Premier League encounter. 

Both sides will be aiming to close the gap on the European places, with Eddie Howe’s men now three games without a win in the league, while Keith Andrews’ Brentford returned to winning ways last weekend with a 1-0 victory away at Aston Villa.

Here, Sports Mole provides details of how to watch Saturday's Premier League clash.

What is at stake for Newcastle United vs. Brentford?

Fresh from a 4-1 defeat to Liverpool in the league, Newcastle will be desperate to return to winning ways at the earliest opportunity. 

By the time Saturday comes around, it will have been exactly a month since they last tasted victory in the Premier League, although three points here could send the Magpies as high as seventh in the table. 

Brentford, on the other hand, are looking to secure back-to-back league wins after previous consecutive defeats halted their good run of form. 

Their victory at Villa Park last weekend, one of the league’s most challenging venues, will give Andrews’ side confidence that they can repeat the feat and potentially end the weekend sitting sixth.
