Newcastle preview: Isak in top form

Newcastle made the trip to Saint Mary's last weekend and fell behind after 10 minutes. However, Alexander Isak won and then converted a penalty in the 26th minute before scoring another goal four minutes later to put Newcastle 2-1 up at the break.

A rare goal from Sandro Tonali in the 51st minute wrapped up a 3-1 victory for Newcastle who moved up into fifth place and onto 41 points.

Jamaal Lascelles, Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson make up the trio of Newcastle players that look set to miss out this weekend due to injury.

Predicted lineup: Dubravka (GK), Schar, Burn, Livramento, Hall, Murphy, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Isak &  Gordon

Fulham preview: Lost two of last three

Fulham went into their home game against Manchester United on Sunday night looking to avenge the 1-0 defeat they suffered at Old Trafford earlier in the season.

However, a solitary goal from Lisandro Martinez late on proved enough for the Red Devils to secure another 1-0 win against the Cottagers.

Kenny Tete, Reiss Nelson and Harry Wilson could all miss the trip to St James' Park on Sunday as each is suffering from an injury.

Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Andersen, Castagne, Robinson, Bassey, Lukic, Wilson, Berge, Smith Rowe, Jimenez & Iwobi

Player to watch: Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak is surely going to surpass his Premier League goal tally of last season in the next month or so after scoring his 16th and 17th goals of the campaign during the 3-1 win over Southampton last weekend.

The Swedish striker scored 21 league goals in 30 appearances last season and in just 21 games of the current Premier League campaign, the striker has 17 goals to his name.

Newcastle's Swedish striker is in record-breaking form

The Newcastle forward has scored 12 goals in his last ten appearances across all competitions for the Magpies, so you wouldn't bet against him scoring again on Saturday.
