Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce will miss several players for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Fulham, fearing two will suffer from Covid-19 in the long run.

Newcastle’s 17 problems in 12 games is his most productive record at this level of the Premier League season since the 2014/15 season, however, his performances remain heavy and lack offensive cohesion. Only Burnley has had fewer shots from within the area this season than Newcastle (67) – a statistic that is a barometer of the number of smart targets and beginnings that groups create. The Toons are clinical but not sustainable.
After sending five to Leeds, you can be sure that Steve Bruce will prepare his stand for a blank sheet on this one.
I hope the Fulham has a lot of territorial merit in St James’ Park. With such a lack of speed at the centre of their defence, Newcastle will play with the same usual taste as usual as opposed to a very rapid attack by Fulham. offering many opportunities for Fulham Danger and Sky Bet has qualified them to have thirteen or more shots in 11/8.
Steve Bruce’s team conceded 25 shots in the loss to Leeds, which raised their total shots of the season to 196; West Brom faced more.
Against groups that didn’t finish in the top seven last season, Fulham has recorded thirteen or more shots in seven of nine this season, making 11/8 one of the most attractive bets of the weekend. Fulham can get ahead in what will likely be a close encounter.
