Why you should back Newcastle United

The Magpies hope to regain the form they had in the season opener as they cruised to a 5-1 victory against Aston Villa. Forward Alexander Isak recorded a brace in the match, breaking a 1-1 deadlock in the 16th minute and doubling the lead in the 58th. The 23-year-old, who is tied with striker Callum Wilson for the team lead in goals, also converted in Newcastle's 2-1 triumph over Brentford in April.

Wilson also scored in the win against Aston Villa and produced the only goal for the Magpies in their 3-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sept. 2. The 31-year-old striker led Newcastle with 18 goals last season. Midfielders Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes both have converted twice versus the Bees, with the former tallying in each of the teams' matches in 2021-22 and the latter recording a brace in their first meeting last campaign. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Brentford

The Bees are without forward Ivan Toney, who led the team with 20 goals last season and produced three of Brentford's five overall goals against Newcastle but is serving an eight-month suspension for gambling. Winger Bryan Mbeumo has helped make up for his absence, as he is tied for second in the EPL with four goals after recording nine in 38 matches last campaign. The 24-year-old Mbeumo registered a brace in the Bees' triumph over Fulham and also converted in draws against Tottenham and Bournemouth.

The other player with a multiple-goal total for Brentford thus far in 2023-24 is Yoane Wissa, who scored in back-to-back contests to begin the season. The 27-year-old forward netted seven goals in each of his first campaigns with the Bees after reaching double digits in his final two with Lorient of France's Ligue 1. German winger Kevin Schade and Danish midfielder Mathias Jensen also have converted for Brentford, who are unbeaten in their last seven EPL matches dating back to last season. See which team to pick here.
