Fulham vs Newcastle United
Fulham have settled straight back into the Premier League on their return this season, sitting sixth coming into this game. They've collected 11 points from their seven games so far, and are still unbeaten at home, winning the last two on the bounce (D1). Newcastle are also in the top half of the table, in 10th, but after starting their campaign with a win against Nottingham Forest, they're winless in their last six (D5 L1). They're still looking for their first victory on the road in the league.
