Newcastle United vs Fulham Preview

Fulham are currently in 13th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side edged Burnley to a narrow 3-2 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Magpies slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Sunderland in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this week.

Newcastle United vs Fulham Prediction

Newcastle United have blown hot and cold so far this season and have a few defensive issues to address ahead of this match. The likes of Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes can be effective on their day and will need to step up to the plate on Wednesday.
