Newcastle look to push their season on against struggling Burnley<\/p>\n
The 2023\/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.<\/p>\n
This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola\u2019s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.<\/p>\n
Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.<\/p>\n
Longstaff pulls a shot well wide of the target as he drags a bouncing ball past the left post.<\/p>\n
That was Trippier’s fourth assist of the Premier League season, the most in the division.<\/p>\n
Gordon receives the first booking of the contest for crunching into Berge near the touchline.<\/p>\n

Burnley are winless in their last nine away league games against Newcastle (four draws, five losses) since a 1-0 victory in April 1976. They would love to end that shocking run here.<\/p>\n
A stray pass in the Burnley defence is latched onto by Guimaraes, who immediately looks for Isak. The striker receives the ball before making space for a shot, but his eventual effort is saved down low by Trafford.<\/p>\n
Bornwhill is perhaps a bit fortunate not to receive an early booking after he clattered into Gordon.<\/p>\n
Kompany’s men are looking a threat when they come forward, with Koleosho causing Burn a few issues down Newcastle’s left.<\/p>\n
Newcastle have won their last four Premier League games against Burnley, as many as they had in their previous 15 league meetings with the Clarets (five draws, six defeats).<\/p>\n
BIG CHANCE! A huge opportunity goes begging for the visitors as a Burn slip allows Koleosho to nip in. The winger drives into the box before squaring for Amdouni, but Pope bails out his defender as he makes a great stop with his right foot to deny Amdouni’s goalbound effort.<\/p>\n
