Newcastle United will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven matches when they travel to Brentford next weekend.
Eddie Howe's side came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at West Ham United on Saturday afternoon, as Craig Dawson's opener was cancelled out by Joe Willock.
Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy both had opportunities to win the game for the Magpies, but they had to settle for a well-earned point in the capital.
The result sees the Magpies stay in 17th on 22 points and Eddie Howe has appeared to turn their season around after a difficult start.
However, Newcastle now face another side that could be dragged into the relegation battle in Brentford after they stretched their winless run to seven games with a 2-1 loss at Arsenal.
Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka put the Gunners into a commanding position, and although the Bees pulled one back through Christian Norgaard, it was too little too late.
A win for United next weekend will see the Magpies move ahead of Thomas Frank's side.
Brentford have played the most games out of the bottom seven (26) and sit just six points above 18th-place Watford, leaving them in a precarious position in the Premier League.
This is after the Hornets earned a precious 1-0 win at Aston Villa, with Emmanuel Dennis' second-half strike proving to be the difference as Roy Hodgson secured his first victory in charge.
There are just four points and one position seperating Watford and Newcastle in the table, although the Hornets have played one game more.
It also proved to be a memorable afternoon for Burnley, who sat at the foot of the table before a ball was kicked, but they put in an impressive performance to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0.
