Fulham v Newcastle

Fulham vs Newcastle Preview

Fulham gained another point in the Premier League thanks to last weekend's 1-1 draw at home with West Ham and The Cottagers will hold home advantage once again on Saturday afternoon when they play host to a Newcastle United outfit who will be buzzing after picking up all three points last weekend with a 2-1 win away from home against Wolves at Molineux.

Despite being handed a 1-0 defeat away from home at Manchester United in what was the curtain-raiser of this season's Premier League campaign at Old Trafford, Fulham have staged a recovery in following weeks as the London club are unbeaten in their last three league matches, picking up a win and two draws.

A 2-1 home win against Leicester City was followed by solid points picked up by way of draws with Ipswich Town and West Ham but although they remain at Craven Cottage for this upcoming clash against Newcastle United, The Cottagers have still only managed to collect just three wins in their last 13 games overall in the English top flight.

Interestingly, two of these three wins have actually been achieved on their travels while results on home soil at Craven Cottage have seen Fulham pick up just one win from their last six attempts while also being dealt three defeats as well.

Newcastle United moved up into third spot in the early Premier League standings thanks to an impressive 2-1 win away from home at Wolves last weekend and The Magpies have hit the ground running in the early stages of this new Premier League season as Eddie Howe's side have put together a promising looking four-match unbeaten sequence to date.

Three wins and a draw have lifted the north-east club into early contention for a possible Champions League spot next season and although there is obviously a long way to go yet, Newcastle United have laid down a marker with wins against the likes of Southampton, Tottenham and Wolves respectively.

The bigger picture suggests the visitors look well placed to further add to their points tally this Saturday in the nation's capital as The Magpies have suffered just two defeats in their last 14 matches overall which were at the hands of Crystal Palace and Manchester United in the latter stages of last season.

However, Newcastle United have also picked up nine wins within this 14-game period including a 1-0 win away from home at Fulham in their last encounter against The Cottagers.

Fulham v Newcastle United Verdict

Indeed, Newcastle United have held the upper hand over Fulham in no uncertain fashion as the visitors have won each of the last six meetings on the trot and another three points could be in their back pockets this Saturday.
