Newcastle United, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Newcastle United supremo Eddie Howe after sustaining a heavy 4-1 away loss to Tottenham Hotspur. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Tottenham Hotspur managed 23 attempts on goal, with 12 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
On an individual basis, Anthony Gordon has scored in each of Newcastle United's last 4 league games at St James' Park.
Fulham, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Fulham racked up a stunning 5-0 home win against West Ham United. They achieved 63% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against West Ham United's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 17 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Fulham, Raúl Jiménez will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Newcastle United.
Newcastle will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Cottagers having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, The Magpies' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Fulham will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Newcastle has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Fulham in 6 games.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Elliot Anderson (Back), Harvey Barnes (Ankle), Sven Botman (Knee), Dan Burn (Back), Jamaal Lascelles (Leg), Sean Longstaff (Ankle), Jacob Murphy (Shoulder), Nick Pope (Dislocated shoulder), Matt Targett (Hamstring), Joe Willock (Achilles tendon) and Callum Wilson (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Marco Silva has a number of injury concerns in his Fulham squad to contend with: Steven Benda (Cruciate ligament), Issa Diop (Foot), Tyrese Francois (Unknown), Rodrigo Muniz (Unknown) and Adama Traoré (Hamstring)
