Fulham will host Newcastle United in Premier League matchday nine on Saturday, October 1.
The Cottagers are currently sitting in sixth place with 11 points after seven matches played, meanwhile, the Magpies are at tenth in the domestic competition with 8 points.
Ahead of the match, Paul Merson has given his prediction via Sportskeeda.
"This is going to be a really good game. I watched Newcastle in their previous game, and I thought they struggled without Allan Saint-Maximin. I do like how Eddie Howe sets up his teams, however, and I think they'll be difficult to beat this season.
"I'm impressed with the way Fulham have started their Premier League campaign - they always have a go at teams!
"Aleksandar Mitrovic seems to be scoring every week and if I had to go with someone here, I'd pick Fulham. Newcastle also have impressive players in their ranks, however, and a draw is a more probable outcome." stated the pundit.
Paul Merson's prediction: Fulham 1-1 Newcastle
