Fulham vs Newcastle predictions: Chris Sutton on Premier League

Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

For week five, he takes on singer-songwriter and West Ham fan James Smith whose debut album Common People is out now.

On Saturday, Fulham welcome Newcastle to Craven Cottage (15:00 BST).

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Fulham won nine and lost eight of their 19 home Premier League games last season, but I always fancied them to win at Craven Cottage.

They should have beaten West Ham there last weekend, when they had chances to go further ahead before Danny Ings' 95th-minute equaliser for the Hammers.

Newcastle are still a bit of an unknown quantity for me because I can't say I've been particularly impressed by them so far.

Eventually, Eddie Howe's side are going to come a cropper, but at the moment they are finding a way to win games, even if they are relying on moments of brilliance by individual players rather than playing well as a team.

Smith's prediction: 2-2

I am going for a draw here, with a few goals.
