Preview: Newcastle United vs. Fulham

Newcastle United welcome Fulham to St James' Park in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Magpies are yet to register a league goal this season, although they did score twice in yesterday's League Cup win over Morecambe.

Alan Pardew expects that Yohan Cabaye will return to the squad this week, despite the continued speculation over his future.

Fulham, who won at Sunderland on the opening day, will be hoping that another trip to the North East will provide them with three points after last weekend's defeat at home to Arsenal.
