Newcastle vs Burnley in Premier League at Turf Moor

Newcastle United face Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening in a Premier League match that could mark a turning point for both clubs as the year draws to a close. The game, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. GMT on December 30, 2025, pits a relegation-threatened Burnley side against a mid-table Newcastle team seeking momentum ahead of 2026.

Burnley sit 19th in the table with 12 points, six points adrift of safety after a 0-0 draw with Everton on Saturday secured their second consecutive point from draws. Managed by Scott Parker, the Clarets have not won a league match since late October, enduring seven defeats in their last nine games. Recent performances show resilience, including a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth earlier this month, but persistent issues in attack have limited their scoring, with just two points from those nine fixtures. Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka impressed against Everton, making key saves to preserve the clean sheet, though forward Jacob Bruun Larsen missed a notable chance. Injuries continue to hamper Burnley, with players such as Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer, Connor Roberts, Lyle Foster, and Axel Tuanzebe sidelined.
