Fulham preview: Steadier Cottagers

Alvaro Arbeloa was under immense pressure about a month or so ago but Fulham have begun to steady themselves with an evolution in their style of football, becoming a bit more difficult to beat.

The Cottagers rescued a creditable point at Villa Park against Aston Villa last weekend, with a Zion Suzuki own goal providing Fulham with an equaliser in the second half in Birmingham after Nicolas Jackson had opened the scoring before the break.

Newcastle preview: Struggling Magpies

Newcastle United were hammered 3-1 by Everton in the fourth round of the EFL Cup before then being beaten by The Toffees in the Premier League last week with supporters growing frustrated by their lacklustre performances.

That was Newcastle’s third defeat in four matches with former Al Ahli boss Matthias Jaissle needing to rediscover the spark that Newcastle seemingly had in their opening few weeks of the campaign.

Fulham team news: Sessegnon returns

Surprisingly for any team at this stage of the season, it appears as though Alvaro Arbeloa has a fully fit and available squad for the visit of Newcastle.

That is because former Tottenham Hotspur man Ryan Sessegnon has returned after serving a three-match suspension following a red card against Hull City last month.

Newcastle team news: Ramsey suspended

Newcastle had begun to get bodies back but they are now without Jacob Ramsey, after he was sent off for two yellow cards against Everton despite being a late substitute in that one.

Matias Fernandez-Pardo remained sidelined for that one due to illness with both Tino Livramento and Lewis Miley both working their way back to full fitness, too.

Fulham vs Newcastle prediction

Beginning with intensity at the start of this season, the more precise elements of Newcastle’s games have left a lot to be desired as they head down to Craven Cottage with Fulham having opted to become a little more pragmatic and conservative as the season has gone on. With Fulham seeking to avoid defeat first and foremost and Newcastle lacking fluency and cohesion at both ends of the pitch, backing a low-scoring contest in West London seems a reasonable bet for this one.

Fulham vs Newcastle tip: Under 2.5 goals
