Fulham will face Newcastle United at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, hoping to continue their good home form. While Marco Silva's team have had their struggles on the road, they have recorded 3-0 wins in their last two home games, against Brighton and then a fortnight later over Tottenham. Since then though they have drawn at Sheffield United (3-3) and then were beaten 3-1 by Nottingham Forest in the week at the City Ground. Suffice to say, Fulham will be glad to get back to Craven Cottage for this game where they have won three, drawn one and lost just one of the last five, scoring ten goals in that run of home games and conceding just three. 

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United side have been beset by injuries this season and that has played a key role in their struggles away from home. Like their hosts today, the Magpies have been excellent on their own patch, but have won just three games and drawn two out of 14 games on the road. On a more positive note, they have won two of their last four away games. However, keeping clean sheets has proven to be a problem for Newcastle as they have conceded at least goal in 11 of their last 12 games. They conceded 31 goals in those we games, scoring 28 in return. They warmed up for this game with a 1-1 draw at home to Everton in the week, just a few days after they beat West Ham 4-3 in a dramatic home game at St James' Park.
