Fulham entertain Newcastle on Monday night and will welcome back skipper Brede Hangeland after his three-match ban as they bid for their first win in eight.
The Magpies have had more than their share of injuries and suspensions so far this season but boss Alan Pardew is optimistic that Demba Ba, Cheick Tiote and Davide Santon will be fit, although the continued loss of Yohan Cabaye is a concern for the Geordies.
Fulham are a shade of odds-on at 19/20 at BetVictor but I think they will be slightly bigger than evens come kick-off time even though Fulham have a good record against Newcastle – especially at Craven Cottage, having won the last three on home soil.
Some interesting facts ahead of the game: Newcastle midfielder Tiote has hit more shots this season (10) than any other player in the Premier League without one being on target, and Fulham subs have hit seven goals this season – only Manchester City’s bench has been as productive.
