Newcastle United looked really good against Benfica on Tuesday night, taking care of business in the UEFA Champions League competition. Can they carry that good form over to the league on Saturday? A visit from Fulham awaits. There was certainly some additional good news for Eddie Howe’s men in midweek in that they emerged unscathed from injury in that affair. The injury/fitness situation remains the same as it was prior to the Benfica clash.
The foursome of Valentino Livramento, Lewis Hall, Yoane Wissa and Harrison Ashby remain sidelined.
