Eddie Howe is making a huge mistake if he does not take Alan Shearer’s advice against Fulham

Eddie Howe has some significant decisions to make ahead of Saturday’s game against Fulham, and he will hopefully seek assistance from

Newcastle United veteran Alan Shearer.

The Magpies will go to the capital to face Fulham at Craven Cottage, where Newcastle United has recently had a fantastic record. They’ve

won their past five games at Craven Cottage and will look to make it six this weekend.

If they do, Newcastle United will have outperformed their start to the 1995/96 season. If they win and get 13 points from 16 games, only

the 1994/95 season will have seen the Magpies start better.

In addition, a win will propel Newcastle to the top of the Premier League, but only temporarily. The outcome of Manchester City’s match

against Arsenal on Sunday will determine how long they remain in first place.

Eddie Howe will be considering alterations to his starting lineup ahead of the encounter against Fulham.

His team defeated Wolves 2-1 on Sunday, with the Magpies’ replacements playing a key part in the comeback victory.

Sandro Tonali and Joe Willock altered Newcastle’s midfield dynamic, but Harvey Barnes’ long-range screamer sealed the victory.
