Prediction: 1-0

Fulham

Newcastle United will be aiming to make amends for a heavy 5-2 loss to Leeds United when they host Fulham at their St. James’ Park. The Magpies continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their fourth home win of the season. A man to keep an eye in the home team will be summer signing Callum Wilson, who provided an assist for Jeff Hendrick in the defeat to Marcelo Bielsa’s troops.

The Cottagers, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Brighton in London in their last league match. Fulham aim to escape the danger zone in the Premier League standings, but given Newcastle’s fine home record, we predict that the visitors are going to return to the English capital empty-handed. Fulham attacker Aleksandar Mitrovic faces his old club at St. James’ Park, but the Serbia international is likely to start from the bench.
