Regarding Wissa's recovery from a knee injury, Howe provided a positive update. The signing from Brentford is yet to make his debut, but his manager expressed confidence in his return to full fitness. Wissa's knee is feeling good, and it's now a matter of assessing his overall fitness and sharpness.

Newcastle is traveling to London on the back of their Champions League win against Athletic Bilbao, where Dan Burn scored a spectacular goal. Howe praised Burn's performance and acknowledged that the team is finding ways to utilize the skills of centre-forward Nick Woltemade.

However, Howe acknowledged that the team needs to improve their away form, particularly after a disappointing performance against West Ham. He emphasized the importance of delivering a strong performance against Brentford, which will be a tough test of the team's ability to defend.

The manager sees the trip to Brentford as a great opportunity for the team to show that they can perform well away from home. He expressed confidence in the team's ability to deliver a positive result.
