"While Newcastle might have suffered late heartbreak away at Brighton last weekend as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss at the Amex, Howe's men came roaring back in a sensational fashion earlier in the week. Cruising their way to an emphatic 3-0 victory at home against Jose Mourinho's Benfica, the former Bournemouth boss will be desperately seeking a repeat performance on Saturday afternoon."
"Putting a maiden Champions League win on the board earlier in the month as they opened October with a 4-0 romp away at Royale Union, Newcastle have won three of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Heading into October's fortnight interval with a 2-0 win at home against Nottingham Forest, the Magpies now have their sights firmly set on finding a route into the top-half of the Premier League standings."
Newcastle return to Premier League action at St James' Park against Fulham on Saturday, seeking an immediate domestic response after strong European performances. Newcastle suffered a 2-1 loss at Brighton but recovered with a 3-0 home victory over Benfica and opened October with a 4-0 win at Royale Union, winning three of their previous four matches in all competitions. The Magpies recorded a 2-0 home win over Nottingham Forest and aim to climb into the top half of the table. Newcastle have won their previous two St James' Park matches by a combined 5-0 and kept consecutive home clean sheets. Fulham enter the weekend in a worrying rut around the international break.
