Newcastle United return after the international break with a tough trip to in-form Fulham on Saturday. The Magpies will be looking for their first win since the opening day of the season after a run of five draws and one defeat in six matches.
Opponents Fulham have made an excellent start to the season but Marco Silva is set to be without a few key players for Saturday’s game, none more so than influential midfielder Joao Palhinha.
Palhinha has settled excellently in the Premier League since joining from Sporting club de Portugal but has already accumulated five bookings in seven matches, meaning he is suspended for tomorrow’s game. He joins both Harry Wilson and Manor Solomon on the sidelines, who are long-term absentees.
