Match Preview:
After eight Premier League games, no team have kept more clean sheets this season than Newcastle (five, level with leaders Arsenal), while games involving the Magpies have seen fewer goals scored than any other side’s this term (14 - seven for, seven against).

Eddie Howe can certainly take encouragement from his team’s defensive stability thus far, but results remain the true measure of progress and Newcastle have struggled for consistency so far this season, posting two wins, three draws and three defeats across their opening eight league matches.

Both of Newcastle’s two top-flight victories have taken place at home against teams currently sitting in the relegation zone - a 1-0 win over Wolves and a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest - with their success against the latter followed by a 2-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

Fulham were flying high in the middle of September and had put together a three-game winning run in all competitions, but that has since been followed by three successive Premier League defeats against Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Arsenal.

The Cottagers, who last lost more consecutive league games in March/April 2023 (four), fell to a slender 1-0 home defeat at the hands of the Gunners last weekend, registering just one shot on target, and head coach Marco Silva has urged his team to be more "ruthless, aggressive enough and take right decisions" if they wish to turn their fortunes around.

Only newly-promoted duo Burnley and Sunderland (21 each) have registered fewer shots on target than Fulham in the Premier League so far this season (23), while the Cottagers’ average of 2.9 shots on target per game is their lowest ever in a top-flight campaign.

Match Prediction:
Both teams have experienced inconsistent starts in the Premier League, so a thigh affair could be in store this weekend. However, when you take into consideration Newcastle’s impressive defensive record and how Fulham have struggled in the final third, it is difficult not to back the hosts securing maximum points on this occasion.
