Burnley

• Newcastle United have won five of their last seven Premier League games (D1 L1), scoring at least four goals in four of those victories. They have scored at least four goals in nine different league games this season for the first time since 1951-52 (also 9).

• Burnley’s defeat was their 22nd in the Premier League this season (W5 D9), only in 2009-10 (24) and 1975-76 (23) have the Clarets lost more times in a Football League campaign.

• Eddie Howe took charge of his 100th Premier League game for Newcastle United, recording his 49th win in the process. Only Kevin Keegan (55) has more wins for the Magpies as a manager in their first 100 top-flight games.

• Burnley have now lost each of their last six league meetings with Newcastle. Only against Wolves (10 games in August 2002), Manchester City (10 games in January 2024) and Arsenal (10 games in August 2019 and 7 games in April 1971) have they endured longer such runs in the Football League.

• Anthony Gordon now has 10 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League this season, becoming just the third Newcastle player to hit double figures for both goals and assists in a single campaign after Andrew Cole in 1993-94 (34 goals, 13 assists) and Ruel Fox in 1994-95 (10 goals, 11 assists).

• Callum Wilson is now Newcastle United’s outright second-highest scorer in the Premier League with 47 goals. Only against West Ham (12) and Everton (8) does he have more goals in the competition than against Burnley (6).

Burnley are staring at a second Premier League relegation in three seasons after being humbled at Turf Moor by a rampant Newcastle United.

The visitors took the lead with their first attack of the game as Callum Wilson reacted quickest to slot in after Arijanet Muric parried Alexander Isak's effort back into the danger area.

Eddie Howe's men looked devastating each time they poured forward and took total control by netting twice more before half-time courtesy of first-time finishes by Sean Longstaff and Guimaraes.

Josh Brownhill tugged Anthony Gordon's shirt in the box in the second half and though Isak's penalty was saved by Muric, the Swede lashed in soon after for his 20th league goal of the campaign.

Dara O'Shea's header gave Burnley a late consolation goal but Newcastle's emphatic victory moves them up a place to sixth, two points ahead of Manchester United who travel to Crystal Palace on Monday (kick-off 20:00 BST).

Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.

For this weekend's matches, he takes on Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill.

Sutton's prediction: 3-3

I am at this game for Radio 5 Live, and I am really looking forward to it because both teams have hit a bit of form.

I used to play for Blackburn so I always get a nice reception when I go to Turf Moor, but I have to say I admire how Burnley have kept going this season.

Vincent Kompany's side should have beaten Manchester United last week, but they have still given themselves a chance of staying up with three games to go.

They will throw everything at this game, while Newcastle are in the mix for sixth place and will be right up for it too.

I love what Alexander Isak is doing for the Magpies but, like his team-mate Anthony Gordon, his numbers do drop off when they are on the road.

Both players should have a chance to improve their away stats on Saturday, but I don't think Newcastle will have things all their own way.

Nathan's prediction: 0-3

Vincent Kompany has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League match at home to Newcastle.

Here are the key lines from the Burnley manager:

• The Clarets have lost one of their past eight games and Kompany said they need "more of the same" in terms of energy and how they have approached games: "There are nine points still to play for. That’s what it is going to come down to."

• On frustrations that results might have come too late in the season: "I keep frustration out of this place. I don’t live with that but it does feel like we will be happy for the league to continue but that is not the case. It is still a mission with the hope and belief that we can win a game in the toughest league in the world."

• On the uncertainty of Nottingham Forest's points deduction: “Let’s hope common sense prevails. The last game of the season is Forest v Burnley, I haven’t worried about it all season so I am not going to start now. It doesn’t play any part for our next game."

• On how he gets his inspiration: “The easiest one is if managers talk bad about my team, I hope Eddie [Howe] criticises my team rather than praising them - that will get them going. Anything should feel your motivation."

• He did however have praise for ex-Burnley boss Howe's career achievements: "He has been in this position for many years. What he achieved with Bournemouth will always command the respect of his peers. When you take a job like Newcastle, he has done something by taking them to the Champions League. A good coach, very talented and he has shown more with a better team."

• He anticipates a difficult challenge against Newcastle: "They don't have a lot of weaknesses and they have a lot of strengths [but] anything is possible at Turf Moor. We played them before we started the Championship and they beat us 7-0. In that first pre-season, I already felt we were not ready to play these teams. Newcastle was our first view of what a Premier League team looks for us."

It is difficult for Burnley at this point as we are waiting for the outcome of Nottingham Forest's points deduction appeal and the Clarets will likely be believing that Forest will get some points back.

Burnley had a tough start to life back in the Premier League. They brought in a lot of players and had to face big teams in the beginning so that cost them a bit of time. They were competitive in a lot of games but have a really young squad and found it hard to see off teams. At times where they have done well in a match, they have just ran out steam and mistakes have crept in.

They have had to buy young players with the level of money they could spend and they still have got some gems. Looking at the likes of 19-year-old Wilson Odobert, he has been some signing and going to attract a lot of interest.

Whether Vincent Kompany has been too rigid in his principles and style is difficult to say. When you have brought players to suit your system, you have to then stick with it best you can. If you have got players to then change that system and you are not too stubborn, then you can do it. But if you don't feel like you can or you're not equipped to do it, then you stick with your style.

With three games to go, can they stay up? Yes. Is it going to be a step too far? I think it actually depends on Nottingham Forest's performance and whether they get any points back.

The two home games for Burnley are going to be critical against Newcastle and then Forest on the final day. If someone offered you the chance to play someone at home on the last day to stay up, you would snap their hand off.

If you look at their points return overall, at this moment 30 points could be enough for one of the teams to stay in the Premier League. When the average is around 35-38 and the lowest ever is 34, doing so with 30 would be incredible.

Here are the key facts and figures before Saturday's game between Burnley and Newcastle United in the Premier League.

• Burnley have won just two of their 13 Premier League matches against Newcastle United, losing the past five in a row. They have never lost six in a row against the Magpies in their league history.

• Following their five consecutive Premier League wins over Burnley, Newcastle United will be looking to win six in a row against an opponent for just a second time. They also registered six wins against Spurs between 2006 and 2008.

• Burnley have lost just one of their past eight Premier League games (W2 D5), going down 1-0 at Everton last month. Before the first game in this run, the Clarets were bottom of the table and 10 points from safety. Going into this weekend's games, they are just two points behind 17th.

• Just 14 of Newcastle's 53 Premier League points this season have come in away games, the lowest percentage of any side this term (26%). However, Burnley have won the lowest share of their points so far in home games (42% - 10/24).

• Jacob Bruun Larsen, Zeki Amdouni and Lyle Foster are Burnley's top scorers in the Premier League this season with five goals each. The Clarets have the lowest-scoring top scorers of any side in the competition this term.

• Alexander Isak has scored 19 Premier League goals this season including nine in his past eight appearances. He could become only the fifth different Newcastle player to score 20 or more goals in a Premier League season, after Alan Shearer (four times), Andrew Cole (1993-94), Peter Beardsley (1993-94) and Les Ferdinand (1995-96).

Referees' chief Howard Webb says it was a "clear error" to not initially award a penalty for Andre Onana's foul on Zeki Amdouni in Manchester United's draw with Burnley on Saturday.

Onana came out to attempt to punch the ball clear, but caught the Burnley forward instead. Initially no penalty was awarded, before the video assistant referee (VAR) intervened and recommended referee John Brooks review the incident again.

Speaking on Sky Sports' Mic'd Up programme, Webb said: "We acknowledge that, that situation in week number one at Old Trafford [against Wolves] should have led to a VAR intervention and didn't.

"This is very similar - Onana coming out and not making contact with the ball, making heavy contact with his opponent, not seen by the referee on the field.

"It's a clear error not to award the penalty kick [on the field], and therefore [VAR] recommends that the referee looks at it at the screen for himself and sees that heavy contact."

Onana was not given a card at the time and, asked whether he should have been sent off, Webb did not believe so.

"I think there's a recklessness to it," he said. "On the day he wasn't cautioned. I think that would have been the right outcome to show a yellow card as well, for a reckless action.

"I don't think it's serious foul play. I don't think there's excessive force or brutality in that challenge, but there's an element of recklessness. And that would normally lead to a yellow card."

Whisper it quietly, but Burnley have a chance of Premier League survival. It is a small one admittedly, but there is definitely a chance.

Burnley's best form of the season has seen them come within two points of safety for the first time since 2 December, which is a fantastic turnaround to say they were 11 points adrift at one stage.

The Clarets have only lost one of their past eight games and finally look like a Premier League team.

Let's not beat around the bush though - the form and many of the performances earlier in the season were abysmal and it is a sign of how bad the teams are down at the bottom that we are even in with a chance.

But now we have that chance, we have to do everything we can to get over the line.

We are the team down at the bottom in the best form going into these final three games, but we are also the team down at the bottom with the hardest fixtures. At the very minimum, we need to win two out of the last three.

The majority of you reading this will be Burnley fans so I will not bore you with all the permutations as you would have worked them out yourself, but the basics of it is we need to be within two points of Nottingham Forest, and above Luton, on the final day.

If we are in this position on the final day, then I genuinely think we will do it. I just personally feel like the run of form has come too late and we may just fall short.

I hope I am wrong. Let's beat Newcastle and see if anyone does us a favour first.

So of course I have gone and got my hopes up.

Of course I am now plotting every fixture, and every possible result, and what the table will look like at the end of each of the remaining game weeks.

Which is a bit of an inconvenience given I was fully expecting us to be long gone by now and enjoying a nice summer without the awfulness of this season. Now I have to get all excited again.

I say this with jest, obviously, as it is a brilliant thing to still be in with a chance this late in the day. A valuable and (as it turns out) hard fought point at Old Trafford meant that Nottingham Forest losing at home to Manchester City would put survival in Burnley's own hands for the first time since December.

The fixtures don't look too favourably for us, and I do keep forgetting about Luton, but as I said last week we have nothing to lose now. We might as well get excited.

But the main thing for me is to ensure that credit is given to the manager and his players for this turnaround. They have taken a lot of criticism from us this year, much of it deservedly so, but fans have a responsibility to recognise and acknowledge hard work and good performances.

It does not even matter to me that they may have left it too late because fans can handle relegation so long as their team go down with a fight. That is all we ask for.

Watching Amdoundi and Odebert on Saturday, running until they had nothing left, finally connected me to this young Premier League team. You have my support until the bitter end. You have earned it.

Premier League clubs have voted in favour of adopting an anchoring economic model, which will be linked to the earnings of the bottom club (tv and prize money).

The proposed system would operate like a spending cap.

The next stage is final analysis and drafting of rules, which will potentially be put to clubs at an AGM in June.

The model will be presented to clubs and - should clubs vote in favour then - it will replace the Profit and Sustainability Rules currently in place, from the 2025-26 season onwards.

Any new element of the financial system would come in shadow next season, to fully replace PSR in 2025-26.

“We will obviously wait to see further details of these specific proposals, but we have always been clear that we would oppose any measure that would place a ‘hard’ cap on player wages," said the PFA

“There is an established process in place to ensure that proposals like this, which would directly impact our members, have to be properly consulted on.”

Aston Villa, Manchester City and Manchester United opposed the vote, with Chelsea abstaining.

We asked for your views on Saturday's match between Manchester United and Burnley.

Here are some of your answers:

United fans

Bob: Erik ten Hag has lost the plot. I've said it before and will say it again - he is a mediocre manager out of his depth. If it wasn’t for McTominay scoring a few crucial goals, Ten Hag would be gone. He has to go. I'm bored of listening to him once a week, goodness knows how the players put up with him.

Scott: Manchester United need a good clear out this summer of the players that are either past their best or just simply not good enough, after numerous years of waiting or chances - Rashford, Wan-Bissaka, Eriksen, Casemiro. Not to mention Onana, who has cost us far too many times this season. We will never get anywhere with him between the sticks!

Will: Little has changed since the early season Champions League games. While my instinct is to blame the manager, especially after another Onana error, the fact remains - something deeper is wrong at the club. Until that is fixed, the manager cannot be solely responsible. Moyes, Mourinho, Rangnick, Van Gaal, Solskjaer, Giggs, Carrick... let's give Ineos time.

Graham: Yet another scrappy display, without any real team structure. Yet another winning position lost through a dreadful header by Casemiro, and Onana then conceding a penalty. Are there any other teams who have lost as many matches from a winning position with just minutes on the clock? Extremely poor decision-making.

Burnley fans

Steven: Fantastic performance, nothing to be negative about there! One defeat in eight games, it's a shame there aren't 13 games left. Onto next Saturday, we can do this! Up the Clarets.

Mark: The team are really coming together well. It is a few games too late for us this season, but I like the way the team are playing. I want to keep Kompany for a while yet!

Jack: I've got to admit, Burnley gave max effort. They were a bit lucky at times and I had really hoped this could be the one to upset the applecart. Our run in is the hardest - sorry Natalie (Bromley - BBC Sport's Burnley Fan Writer), the great escape is not on.

Tony: A gutsy performance and a valuable point. It brings Nottingham Forest into play for the last game of the season. Don't write off the Clarets just yet!

Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer has warned Burnley about playing out from the back again, after defensive midfielder Sander Berge's wayward pass was intercepted by Antony for Manchester United's opening goal in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

"They play some nice football, but how many times have we said about Burnley playing out from the back this season and getting caught and conceding a goal?" Shearer said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily Sports Report.

"You think to yourself, are they ever going to learn their lesson?

"They were under no pressure at all against Manchester United, when they were trying to play out from the back, but it took one stupid misplaced pass to find themselves 1-0 down - when they just didn't deserve it.

"To be fair to them, they showed great character in coming back [from 1-0 down] and they were rightly given the penalty.

"Even then they could have gone on to win it, if it wasn't for a really good save from Andre Onana. I thought it was a terrible performance from Manchester United."

The result did bring Vincent Kompany's side one step closer to climbing out of the relegation zone though, with the Clarets now within two points of fourth-from-bottom Nottingham Forest, who they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.

Burnley have given themselves a chance of survival with a superb run of one defeat in eight games.

They still need a few things to go their way just to get to that final day meeting with Nottingham Forest that could prove decisive.

It is a position they could hardly have expected to be in after they lost at home to West Ham on 25 November, by which point Vincent Kompany's side had taken just four points from their opening 13 games.

The improvement means Burnley defender Dara O'Shea feels the Clarets can look forward to the future with confidence, no matter what the next three weeks brings.

"We're a new team that's been put together this season and we're trying to play football," said the Republic of Ireland international.

“We're not sitting in a deep block and inviting pressure. We're taking it to teams and that's important.

“It's a young group with a lot of players who haven't played in the Premier League before or even in England for that matter.

“It's probably just unfortunate that it's clicking towards the end of the season. We would have liked it to click a lot earlier in the season to put ourselves in a better position, but this is the hand we've been dealt and we've just got to crack on with it."

With Everton and Brentford sealing their Premier League survival, only three teams are left in the fight against relegation this season - Nottingham Forest, Luton Town and Burnley - with just two points separating the three teams at the bottom of the table.

Former Premier League midfielder Michael Brown has been discussing the survival race on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily Sports Report: "Well, my former team Sheffield United didn't have enough.

"Then you have Burnley, they are not going away and they are keeping up that fight.

"Luton have surprised everybody so much this season, but they are now falling away with some poor results. They had some good home games that you would have expected them to get some results in, given the way they have gone about things this season.

"Nottingham Forest are under that pressure as well.

"So, who is going to do it? I think Forest are the favourites at this moment in time, but what an end to the season it is going to be at the bottom of the league."

Another precious point won for Burnley. Another encouraging performance that just increases frustration that a) they didn't start getting positive results earlier in the season and b) that they lost at Everton.

Burnley are in an uncomfortable position.

Somehow they must get as many points from games against Newcastle United and Tottenham as Nottingham Forest do from their next three - which includes a trip to relegated Sheffield United next weekend.

Lyle Foster was unfortunate not to give Burnley all three points at Old Trafford, but it didn't happen.

Burnley and their manager Vincent Kompany need a favour - starting from his old boss Pep Guardiola and Manchester City tomorrow.
