THE LOWDOWN

NEWCASTLE

  • Newcastle sit third-place in the Premier League going into this latest round of fixtures and with fifth-placed Tottenham playing table toppers Arsenal in the North London derby on the same day, this represents a golden opportunity for the Magpies to further cement their position in the top four.
  • Eddie Howe could well stick with the same side who beat Leicester in midweek to reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals, meaning that Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin would each have to settle with places on the bench again.

FULHAM

  • Fulham made it five wins on the bounce in all competitions this past Thursday night and what a win it was, beating local rivals Chelsea by two goals to one at Craven Cottage.
  • Although Carlos Vinicius scored the winning goal for the Whites against Chelsea, he is still expected to drop back to the bench for this game with Aleksandar Mitrovic returning to the side following his suspension.

THE PREDICTION

A really intriguing encounter lies ahead here between two sides in outstanding form who are both enjoying fantastic league campaigns respectively. Newcastle though, not only have the benefit of home advantage, but also two days of extra rest compared to their opponents. Such small margins may well prove crucial in what is expected to be a tight match. The power of St. James’ Park cannot be underestimated at present and neither can the ability of this Newcastle side. Utilise the draw no bet market and back the Magpies to edge victory in this one.

TIP: NEWCASTLE DRAW NO BET
