BIG FINALE LIVE: Stay up to date with all the Premier League final day SunSport's live blog
Getting a result for Burnley won't be easy – Newcastle have had a sensational turnaround since the appointment of Eddie Howe last November.
Only league leaders Manchester City and Liverpool have earned more points than Newcastle this calendar year – which was added to in their most recent dominant display against Arsenal.
And now, Newcastle can finish off their campaign with a successful trip to Burnley if they play their cards right.
But the Clarets are in need of a positive result otherwise they could be heading into the Championship next season with already relegated Watford and Norwich.

Team news
Burnley's lengthy injury list was not helped by Matthew Lowton's controversial red card against Aston Villa.
Which means the defender will join Erik Pieters, Benn Mee, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Ashley Wood and Matej Vydra on the side-lines.
However Jay Rodriguez is 50/50 to return whilst James Tarkowski both made the last match-day squad.
Jonjo Shelvey, Federico Fernandez, Isaac Hayden, Joe Willock and Jamal Lewis missed out on Newcastle's fantastic performance against Arsenal which casts them all as doubts for the final game of the season.
However, Callum Wilson is expected to make his second successive start and Ryan Fraser was able to feature in a 15 minutes cameo last time out.
