Stats to wow your friends

1. Having lost their first ever home league match against Brentford 5-2 in September 1934, Newcastle United are now unbeaten in their last six against them at St. James’ Park (W5 D1).

2. Brentford had failed to win any of their first six Premier League games against Newcastle (D1 L5), but won the reverse fixture 4-2 back in December. Only in 1934-35 have they ever done the league double over the Magpies.

3. Newcastle have won nine of their last 13 Premier League games (L4), this after only winning five of their opening 15 league matches of the season beforehand (D5 L5). Indeed, since the first game in this time (December 14th v Leicester), only Liverpool (10) have more Premier League wins than the Magpies (9) coming into this matchday.

4. Brentford have won each of their last five Premier League away games – the longest winning run on the road by any side in 2024-25. In the competition’s history, only one side has won six successive away games in which they began the day outside of the top 10 in the table, with Arsenal doing so from December 2020 to May 2021.

5. Excluding own goals, Brentford have scored from their first shot of a match nine times in the Premier League this season, the most of any side, while Newcastle have conceded the first shot they have faced nine times, also a league-high figure.

6. Newcastle have dropped a league-low seven points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, while only league leaders Liverpool (19) have recovered more from losing positions in the competition this term coming into this matchday than the Magpies (18).

7. Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães has won 92 fouls in the Premier League this season, at least 34 more than any other player. Indeed, since Opta have this data in the competition (from 2003-04), among players with 5,000+ minutes, only Jack Grealish (3.8) and Wilfried Zaha (3.1) win more fouls per 90 than the Brazilian (3.0).

8. Alexander Isak has scored 19 Premier League goals this season – nine at home and 10 away. The only Newcastle players to score 10+ goals both home and away in a season in the competition are Andrew Cole (1993-94) and Alan Shearer (2001-02).
