Howe Seeks Away Day Redemption vs. Parker's Clarets
30 Dec
Summary
- Newcastle seeks to improve poor away form in final 2025 fixture.
- Burnley, managed by Scott Parker, battles relegation in 19th place.
- Newcastle faces significant defensive absences for the match.

Newcastle United concludes its 2025 Premier League campaign with a trip to face Burnley on Tuesday, December 30th. Following a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Manchester United on Boxing Day, Eddie Howe's squad is under pressure to deliver an improved performance, particularly on the road where their record this season has been notably weak, with just one win in nine away fixtures.
The Magpies face a Burnley side that is currently embroiled in a relegation battle, sitting precariously in 19th position under the management of former Newcastle midfielder Scott Parker. This encounter at Turf Moor presents a crucial opportunity for Newcastle to secure vital points against a team fighting for survival.
Adding to Newcastle's challenge is a significant number of defensive absentees, including Burn, Botman, Trippier, Livramento, Krafth, and Lascelles. Despite these setbacks, young Lewis Miley has impressed in a makeshift right-back role and is expected to feature in a reshaped backline. The team will also assess the fitness of Anthony Elanga and consider the starting role for Joelinton, who has recently returned from injury.
