For the final game of the Premier League season, Brentford host Newcastle on Sunday.

The Bees have had a fairly disappointing campaign and will finish either 15th or 16th depending on Everton's result against Arsenal.

Newcastle haven't matched the Champions League qualification success of last season, but they are still in with a shout of qualifying for a lesser European competition.

Brentford current form

Brentford's recent form has been decent as they have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games, with the victories coming against Sheffield Utd, Luton and Bournemouth.

Newcastle current form

Newcastle lost 3-2 against Man Utd during the week and that came after three games undefeated as they beat Sheffield Utd and Burnley and drew with Brighton.

They haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last five games.

Brentford vs Newcastle Team News

Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey and Ben Mee are definitely out for Brentford and have been for a while.

There are concerns over the fitness of Nathan Collins, Frank Onyeka and Neal Maupay so it will be up to Thomas Frank to decide whether any player is worth the risk with nothing riding on the match.

Newcastle's season has been ravaged by injuries as Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles both have serious knee injuries, while Joe Willock, Tino Livramento and Lewis Miley are likely to miss out.

Sandro Tonali is suspended.

Key player - Brentford

It's looking likely that this will be Ivan Toney's final game for Brentford so he'll want to go out with a bang.

Key player - Newcastle

Twenty goals so far for Alexander Isak this season. One of the many reasons he has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Chelsea or Man Utd in the summer.
