The Toon Army may be turning up in West London with their heads down after the departure of striker Andy Carroll to Liverpool on deadline day. The hosts Fulham recorded an impressive 4-0 victory over Tottenham in the FA Cup on Sunday will be looking to pick up where they left off.
Alan Pardew will be looking for his side to deflect the Club’s decision to sell Carroll with a positive result at Craven Cottage, but on loan signing Stephen Ireland will have to wait to make his debut as he is out with a hamstring injury.
Fulham could give debuts to new loan signings, Gael Kakuta and Eider Gudjohnsen but with forwards Andy Johnson and Moussa Dembele growing in form, Mark Hughes could keep them in the side. He also boasts a good record against Newcastle being unbeaten in his last six games as a manager. However, the Toon army are undefeated in the league in 2011 with 2 Wins and 2 Draws.
Prediction: 1-0
