Newcastle have conceded 14 goals in their last seven games
There have been no draws in the last 11 meetings between these two
Fulham have won only two league games this season
Two bottom-half sides face off as Fulham face Newcastle in the Premier League at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.
The Cottagers started the season slowly and the pressure was mounting on Alvaro Arbeloa, but seven points from their last three league games have turned things around and lifted the mood.
Newcastle on the other hand have been struggling after a decent start to the campaign, with back-to-back defeats to Everton in the EFL Cup and league compounding their misery.

Team News
Fulham have a clean bill of health and will welcome back Ryan Sessegnon from suspension.
Newcastle will be without Jacob Ramsey after he was sent off in their defeat to Everton on Monday.
Ewen Jaouen is a long-term absentee while Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Tino Livramento and Lewis Miley are expected to miss out.
Need to know
Matthias Jaissle is now third-favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked at 5/1 with LiveScore Bet after Newcastle’s poor run of form.
The German only took charge of the Magpies in the summer but poor recruitment and a lack of a coherent playing style have caused concerns on Tyneside.
Alvaro Arbeloa was a short price to depart earlier in the season but is now 22/1 with LiveScore Bet to be the next boss to go.
Prediction
Newcastle are on a poor run and Fulham’s Gonzalo Garcia could be the man to kick them while they are down.
The Spaniard has an expected goals tally of 3.98 this season, only six players can better that, and he is fancied to add to his tally of one league goal.
Much of Newcastle’s play comes down their left-hand side and Harvey Barnes loves to cut inside from that position and shoot. He is averaging 2.26 shots per 90 minutes this season and should have at least two in this game.
