Newcastle have won their last four Premier League games against Burnley, as many as they had in their previous 15 league meetings with the Clarets (D5 L6).

Burnley are winless in their last nine away league games against Newcastle (D4 L5) since a 1-0 victory in April 1976.

Newcastle United won 8-0 against Sheffield United in their last Premier League game, their biggest ever away league win and biggest overall since 1999, an 8-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday. They had eight different scorers in the match, a new record by a team in a single Premier League match (excl. own goals).

For a fifth time in their nine Premier League seasons, Burnley have failed to win any of their opening five matches (D1 L4). The only side to do so in more different campaigns in the competition are Newcastle (seven).

Of the 13 previous instances of a team scoring eight goals in a Premier League match, only one has then gone on and lost their next match (W9 D3) – that was Newcastle United in September 1999 against Leeds United. None have ever failed to score in their next game, with Liverpool in September 1989 the last to do that in the top-flight, following up a 9-0 win over Crystal Palace with a 0-0 draw with Norwich City.

Burnley set a new personal Premier League record for most completed passes in a match in their defeat to Man Utd (572), with their accuracy in that game 88.4%, their second-best ever. In just five games this season, they’ve already completed 26% of their total successful passes from their last top-flight campaign (2,174 in 2023-24, 8,523 in 2021-22).

Newcastle United have scored 16 goals after just six Premier League games this season, their most at this stage since 1994-95 when they scored 22. They are only the second Premier League side to have scored that many goals after six games while also losing as many as three of them, along with Man City in 2008-09 (W3 L3, scored 16).

Burnley’s Ameen Al Dakhil completed 109 passes against Manchester United last time out, the most by a Clarets player in a Premier League game ever. He’s completed 289 in total in five games this season, the most by a Burnley player across their first five Premier League appearances for the club.

Anthony Gordon has been directly involved in five goals in his last seven Premier League games (3 goals, 2 assists), one more than in his previous 47 combined for Everton and Newcastle. Despite not starting against Sheffield United, Gordon carried the ball 432 metres in the game, the most by a Magpies player in a Premier League match since July 2020 (Allan Saint-Maximin vs Spurs, 456m).

Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier has assisted six headed goals in the Premier League in 2023, two more than any other player. His last seven assists have all been for headers, the longest run by a player in the Premier League since Matt Ritchie between 2017 and 2019, who did eight in a row also for Newcastle.
