Makes first PL start
Burn generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Burn made his first league start of the season Sunday, recording two interceptions and winning five aerial duels in the victory over Crystal Palace. He played the full 90 minutes, a significant step for the defender after featuring for just one minute in each of his previous two league appearances since returning from an early-season ankle injury. Sunday's workload is an encouraging sign as he pushes to reclaim a regular starting role, having made 25 starts in 29 Premier League appearances during the 2025/26 campaign.
Second straight appearance off bench
Burn came off the bench and played the final minutes in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Aston Villa.
Analysis: Burn entered the game as a striker, as Newcastle wanted to take advantage of his height and size to win headers in the opposing box in the final minutes. This was the second straight game Burn played off the bench, and it remains to be seen when he'll return to a starting role, as he's arguably the most experienced defender in the squad.
