Barclays English Premier League Best Odds Comparison - Major Bookmakers

Newcastle United will aim continue their mini-revival at Craven Cottage against a Fulham side who themselves are experiencing a slump.

Alan Pardew's visitors started the season with expectations of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League after the last campaign's impressive fifth-placed Premier League finish.

But Newcastle will kick-off in London in 14th position after taking just a disappointing 17 points from 15 games, leaving them one spot behind Fulham on goal difference.

Injuries and suspensions have hampered the North East club but they did at least end a run of four successive Premier League defeats by beating 10-man Wigan Athletic last Monday.

Fulham, though, will not be in an accommodating mood and Martin Jol will be demanding his players end a seven-game winless run which has seen them sink down the table.

Jol's former club, Tottenham Hotspur, comfortably won 3-0 at Craven Cottage in Fulham's last match and, in their previous home game, Sunderland left London with maximum points.

Fulham have in fact won just one of the last five Premier League home games but they can fall back on a good record against Newcastle, having lost just once in their last six meetings.

Fulham can welcome back captain Brede Hangeland following the Norway international's return from a three-match suspension.

Hangeland has been banned after being sent off against Sunderland and he is likely to return in defence, while Alex Kacaniklic is back after a hamstring injury.

Bryan Ruiz faces a further month on the sidelines with a hamstring complaint of his own, while right-back Sascha Riether has to overcome a minor knee sprain if he is to feature.

Newcastle boss Pardew could have several of his big guns back from injury for the trip to Fulham.

Full-back David Santon (groin), midfielders Cheick Tiote, Hatem Ben Arfa (both hamstring) and Gabriel Obertan (toe), striker Demba Ba (also hamstring) and Jonas Gutierrez (knee) have all been absent in recent weeks.

That would leave Steven Taylor (hamstring) and Yohan Cabaye (groin surgery) on the long-term casualty list but would represent a significant improvement.

Opta Facts

• Demba Ba is the first Newcastle player to score 10+ goals in consecutive Premier League seasons since Alan Shearer
• Newcastle are the only team not to score from a corner in the Premier League in 2012/13
• Papiss Cisse has conceded more fouls without collecting a booking than any other player in the top-flight this season

Jimenez puts the blinkers on

Real Zaragoza coach Manolo Jimenez is looking no further than Monday's clash with Rayo Vallecano as his team embark on a busy week.Zaragoza face Levante in the Copa del Rey on Thursday and the Primera Division on Sunday, but first take on a team just three points ahead of them in the league table.And Jimenez told the club's website: ``We will go game by game and try to have players that are 100 per cent fit at all times. For now I am only thinking about the game against Rayo.``We have to try to win in Vallecas. We cannot play for a draw.``They are a good team who use the ball well and will make things very difficult.``We have to try to keep a clean sheet, which would give us a much better chance of winning.''Missing from the squad for Monday's game will be Ndri Romaric, who has been troubled by a hamstring niggle, and Carlos Aranda due to a muscle injury in his right foot.Vallecano coach Paco Jemez is expecting a tough test against Zaragoza, despite the visitors' poor run of just one point from three games.He said: ``Zaragoza seem stronger this year and are a team that I like, with intensity. They know what they are doing and have experienced players.``It is going to be difficult and we must be patient, because Zaragoza are comfortable when they have the ball.
``They compete very well, it is going to be difficult because they have talented players up front.''

Jemez is without Rodri and Pape Diamanka, while Mohammad Abu and Jose Carlos did not train with the squad on Saturday, but Chori Dominguez and Piti have trained as normal.
