Newcastle defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at Molineux Stadium in their last league match to extend their unbeaten start to the league season to five (Wins: 3 Draws: 1 Losses: 0), putting them in third spot on 10 points through four matches. They are two points behind table-topping Manchester City. Newcastle have won each of their last four away league games against Fulham, hoping today will be the same.

Fulham come into this game unbeaten since their opening round defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Cottagers have one win and two draws in that run, and currently occupy 12th. Marco Silva’s side will be hoping to kick on with a win against their visitors today but know this may be a tough task with Newcastle in fine form. To do this though Fulham will need to correct an unwanted record of not beating the Magpies in any of their last eight Premier League meetings, losing six and drawing two. The team will look to their joint top goal scorers Raul Jimenez, Adama Traore, and Alex Iwobi to correct this.
