Newcastle United will still likely be riding a wave of excitement after ending their long trophy drought with an EFL Cup success against Liverpool.

However, their attention must switch back to Premier League matters on April 2, 2025, as they face an important clash with Brentford in their race to finish in a Champions League spot.

The Bees come into this round in strong recent form after winning three of their last five, and losing just once across that period.

It will be interesting to see how Newcastle return to action following the celebrations over their EFL Cup success.

Brentford’s record against the Magpies is a concern, but the Bees have been formidable on the road in the second half of the season. For that reason, it could be worth taking a chance on the visitors.
