Newcastle thumped Benfica 3-0 in the Champions League
Fulham's 1-0 loss to Arsenal was a third straight defeat
Recommended bet: Fulham +0.5 Asian Handicap
Newcastle will be hoping that Tuesday's 3-0 win over Benfica in Europe will act as lift-off for a stuttering start to their Premier League campaign.
The Toon have won only two of their eight top-flight matches so far and been involved in a trio of 0-0 draws, but they are sure to fancy their chances against a Fulham side reeling from three straight defeats.
Team news
Lewis Miley has put pressure on Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes or Sandro Tonali for a start after impressing in midfield in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Benfica.
The Toon are still missing Tino Livramento, Lewis Hall and Yoane Wissa.
Central defender Joachim Andersen is the latest addition to the ranks of Fulham crocks, joining the likes of Antonee Robinson, Sasa Lukic and Rodrigo Muniz on the absent list.
The stats
Newcastle's games have seen fewer goals (14) than any other top-flight team this term.
The Toon have kept a joint-best five Premier League clean sheets.
Fulham, who have lost three in a row, completed the double over the Magpies last season.
In 12 matches across all competitions, Newcastle have yet to concede a goal before the 35th minute.
None of Fulham's four away games this season have produced over 10 corners.

Prediction
St James' Park was rocking on Tuesday night as Newcastle thumped Benfica 3-0 to make it six points out of nine in the Champions League.
Following the 4-0 win at Union Saint-Gilloise in their previous European game it shows Eddie Howe has plenty of firepower at his disposal.
His problem has been getting it to show its teeth in the Premier League and it is why they are hard to like at a very short price against a resolute Fulham.
The Magpies are only a point better off than Fulham after eight rounds of games, lost to the Cottagers twice last term, and their games are producing fewer goals than any side's in the top division.
They struggled to beat Wolves 1-0 at home, lost 2-1 at Brighton last weekend and while Fulham's form is clearly no better following three straight losses, Marco Silva's men are never pushovers.
There was no disgrace in losses at Aston Villa and Bournemouth and last week they only succumbed to a lone Leandro Trossard goal against leaders Arsenal.
This has the makings of a low scorer which invites the possibility of the draw in which case Fulham +0.5 on the Asian Handicap market with LiveScoreBet must make a fair bit of appeal.
