Gallery: Newcastle United’s last 10 visits to Fulham – how many can you remember?
Newcastle United are back in Premier League action against newly-promoted Fulham this Saturday (3pm kick-off).
Eddie Howe’s side are looking for their first away win in the league this season and their first win since the opening day of the season against Nottingham Forest.
Fulham have made a positive start on their return to the top flight and sit sixth after seven matches. The scoring form of former Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has made Marco Silva’s side a real threat in the final third.
But The Magpies have enjoyed their most recent outings to Craven Cottage having picked up convincing wins on their last two visits.
