Two sides separated by just one place and one point in the Premier League table collide in Sunday afternoon's showdown at the Gtech Community Stadium, where Brentford entertain the challenge of Newcastle United.

The Bees are marginally better off than the Magpies in the top-flight rankings after 10 matchweeks, but their bid to break into the top half suffered a setback last weekend, when they were condemned to a 2-0 defeat by London rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Eddie Howe's side did not fare at all better in the capital themselves, suffering a surprise 3-1 defeat to West Ham United that left them still waiting for their first Premier League away victory of the season.

However, Newcastle restored parity in midweek with a 2-0 Champions League success over Athletic Bilbao, and the Magpies have won both of their last two showdowns with Sunday's hosts.
