Newcastle Impressive at Home


EFL Cup holders Newcastle impressed in their opening two games of the competition. The Toon thrashed Bradford 4-1 and beat Tottenham 2-0 at home to reach the quarter-final.

The Tottenham victory came during a six-match winning streak at home. Newcastle followed that result with a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao and a 2-1 triumph against Man City at St James' Park. 

Eddie Howe’s side were on a four-match unbeaten run, including a 2-2 home draw with Tottenham and a 2-1 win over Burnley.

That streak ended with a 1-0 defeat at local rivals Sunderland. Nick Woltemade scored an own goal in the second half and the Toon couldn’t reply with two shots on target.

Fulham in Patchy Form


Fulham beat lower league sides Bristol City 2-0 and Cambridge 1-0 in the early EFL Cup rounds. The West Londoners then edged Wycombe on penalties following a 1-1 draw.

The Cottagers have struggled for consistency recently and have lost three of their last six matches. Defeats came at Everton 2-0 and at home against Man City 5-4 and Crystal Palace 2-1.

Marco Silva’s outfit responded by defeating Burnley 3-2 on Saturday. Fulham had 2.23 XG and Emile Smith-Rowe, Calvin Bassey and Harry Wilson got on the scoresheet. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Newcastle (4-3-3): Aaron Ramsdale; Valentino Livramento, Malick Thiaw, Fabian Schar, Lewis Hall; Sandro Tonali, Lewis Miley, Joelinton; Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade, Harvey Barnes

Defenders Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Emil Krafth and Sven Botman are injured.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope and forward William Osula are also unavailable due to injury.

Jamaal Lascelles could return to the squad here. Eddie Howe explained that the centre-back is recovering well from a muscle injury and said, “Jamaal is returning from a muscle problem. He's fit and training with the group.”

Fulham (4-2-3-1): Benjamin Lecomte; Timothy Castagne, Joachim Andersen, Jorge Cuenca, Antonee Robinson; Harrison Reed, Josh King; Harry Wilson, Emile Smith Rowe, Kevin; Raul Jimenez

Defender Calvin Bassey and attacking pair Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze are on international duty.

Striker Rodrigo Muniz is ruled out due to a thigh issue.

Ryan Sessegnon is also set to miss out through injury. Ahead of the Newcastle game, Silva provided an update on the full-back and said, “He's already running on the pitch, and is not going to be long. He's already doing individual work, probably some weeks, but I cannot give you a timescale because we see how he's going to react this week.”

Verdict

Newcastle beat most sides at St James’ Park and Fulham are inconsistent. The Toon can use their home advantage to win and progress in the EFL Cup.
