Newcastle United v Brentford: When is it? Is it on TV? What’s the latest injury news ahead of Eddie Howe’s first game in charge?

Eddie Howe will take charge of his first game as Newcastle United manager when they welcome Brentford to St James’s Park.

It will be the first time the two clubs have met in a Premier League fixture with The Bees starting the game five places and seven points above The Magpies.

Newcastle have lost just once against Brentford at St James’s Park, with that defeat coming in their first meeting on Tyneside in the 1934/35 season.

What is the latest injury news?

Howe should have a near-full complement of players to choose from ahead of Saturday’s game with only Paul Dummett ruled out of action.

Martin Dubravka played his first competitive game back for Slovakia this week, meaning that he will be available for selection.

Thomas Frank, on the other hand, has an extensive injury-list to cope with. Kristoffer Ajer, Mads Sorensen, David Raya, Joshua Dasilva, Shandon Baptiste and Mathias Jorgensen are all expected to miss the game through injury.

One player that will likely feature for Brentford is former-Newcastle striker Ivan Toney in what will be his first appearance at St James’s Park since his permanent departure from the club in 2018.
