Prediction: 1-1
Newcastle
Craven Cottage will host Saturday’s football game between Fulham and Newcastle United, the two sides who are sitting in the opposite halves of the table. The Cottagers aim to extend their unbeaten run to four games and, no doubt, they should be happy with one point from the round 5 clash. Even though the capital club were on the verge of beating West Ham United in the London derby at the weekend, Marco Silva should opt to make changes to the starting XI. Forward Carlos Vinicius should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Magpies, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton. Fulham, though, are tough to beat at Craven Cottage, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Harvey Barnes is widely expected to return to Newcastle’s starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league fixture, while all Lewis Miley, Callum Wilson, and Jamaal Lascelles remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Alex Iwobi):
Alex Iwobi is one of the most talented African footballers. The Nigerian football player was born in Lagos on May 3, 1996, but he moved to Arsenal at the age of 8. In 2015 he made his first-team debut for the Gunners, starting in a 3-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup.
Speaking of his Premier League debut, Alex Iwobi played his first game for Arsenal in a 3-0 victory over Swansea City in October, 2015. The pacey winger played for England at youth level, but he eventually went on to play for Nigeria. Iwobi made his senior debut with the Super Eagles on October 8, 2015, coming as a substitute for Ahmed Musa in a 2-0 loss to DR Congo.
On October 7, 2017 the Arsenal footballer scored the winner for Nigeria against Zambia (1-0) which helped the Super Eagles book their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals. Speaking of his individual trophies, Alex Iwobi was named CAF Young Player of the Year 2016.
Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.
Newcastle United have won four domestic trophies (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927), while lifting six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955) and a number of star players were part of the St. James’ Park outfit in the past.
David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
