"Starting with the hosts, suffering major heartbreak over the weekend as they fell to a 1-0 loss away at arch-rivals Sunderland, it appears that the pressure on Eddie Howe's shoulders is once again starting to intensify. Still scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the Premier League table, Newcastle have continued to show some rather glaring inconsistencies this season. Mustering just a single win from any of their previous four appearances across all competitions,"
"Hospitalised over the weekend after sustaining a rib injury during Sunday's 1-0 loss away at Sunderland, Newcastle will be without England international Dan Burn here. Likewise, all still dealing with respective injury issues, Howe's side will be unable to call upon the likes of Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman and former Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope. Making another cameo appearance off the bench, summer recruit and ex-Brentford striker Yoane Wissa should get some more minutes under his belt."
Newcastle host Fulham at St. James' Park in an EFL Cup tie with a betting verdict favoring goals in both halves. Newcastle have won seven and drawn one of their last eight home matches but have been inconsistent overall, picking up only one win in their last four matches and failing to string consecutive victories since October. Manager Eddie Howe faces pressure after a 1-0 derby defeat to Sunderland. Several defenders and goalkeeper Nick Pope are unavailable through injury, including Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman. Joelinton is expected to start and Yoane Wissa may feature from the bench. Fulham returned to winning ways with a 3-2 win at Burnley and seek stability.
