Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
Sandro Tonali is ready for a start, Ipswich will be hopeful for visit of Villa and should Fulham be aiming for Europe?
Despite positive results, Newcastle’s performances have disappointed, so Saturday’s 3-1 reverse at Fulham was not a significant shock. Eddie Howe did not disagree with recent suggestions that his team had been deliberately “undercooked” in pre-season training to help reduce the injuries that dogged them in the spring. The only problem is that they currently seem unable to implement the high, hard press that has brought them considerable success under the former Bournemouth manager.
