Newcastle United vs Brentford live stream and match preview
Looking for a Newcastle United vs Brentford live stream? We've got you covered.
Eddie Howe’s side thrashed Fulham 4-1 last weekend to climb up to seventh spot in the standings. Newcastle were aided by the red card shown to Nathaniel Chalobah early on, but Howe will nevertheless have been delighted with how ruthlessly his team exploited their numerical advantage. It was an important win too, with Newcastle having not emerged victorious since the opening day of the campaign.
The Magpies have still only lost one match so far this term, but the goal now will be start turning draws into wins. The scores have finished level in five of Newcastle’s eight encounters to date, which is more than any other team in the division.
Brentford have had a mixed start to the campaign, winning two, losing two and drawing four of their fixtures. The Bees were held to a scoreless stalemate by Bournemouth last weekend, leaving them 10th in the table ahead of the long trip to St James’ Park.
That was the second game in a row in which Brentford failed to score, following a 3-0 defeat by Arsenal prior to the September international break. Even so, Thomas Frank’s charges have the fifth-best attacking record in the division ahead of gameweek 10.
Newcastle will be unable to call upon the services of Alex Isak, Karl Darlow, Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Ritchie and Emil Krafth, but Alain Saint-Maximin is in line to return to the matchday squad.
Brentford will have to make do without Christian Norgaard, Pontus Jansson and Keane Lewis-Potter, while Ethan Pinnock is a doubt.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
