Newcastle – Hull City

Newcastle host Hull City in what promises to be a tightly contested league clash, with the Magpies sitting tenth on five points after one win and two draws, their modest 6‑4 goal tally reflecting a solid but unspectacular attack. Hull City, meanwhile, sit third with eight points from two victories and two stalemates, boasting a tighter defensive record of just two goals conceded while scoring five. The two sides have yet to meet this season, but Newcastle’s home advantage could prove decisive against a Hull outfit that has shown resilience in every game so far. A win for Newcastle would lift them into the top half of the table, while Hull will be keen to maintain their push for the top‑spot.
