Newcastle United 2-1 Hull City result, stats and report

Alex Iwobi's first-half strike gave Fulham all three points against a Hull City side that struggled to compete from the first whistle, with Ryan Sessegnon's late red card summing up a miserable afternoon for the visitors.

Johan Manzambi's first-half header was enough for Aston Villa to take all three points at Newcastle, as the hosts managed just one shot on target in a flat and toothless performance.

Hull City have not won in five Premier League matches and face a Brighton side that has conceded just one goal in that same window. Something has to give, and the evidence says it will not be Brighton.

Newcastle United host Arsenal on Saturday having conceded twelve goals in their last five Premier League matches. Arsenal arrive with four wins from five and a clean sheet habit that makes them very dangerous visitors.

Hull City have not won in five Premier League matches and Ipswich cannot string two results together. Something has to give at the MKM Stadium on Saturday.

Fulham head into Saturday's home fixture against Newcastle United without a Premier League win in their last five matches. Something has to give, and the thing is, the evidence does not favour the home side.

Pierre Sage and Matthias Jaissle both face scrutiny over turbulent starts to their Crystal Palace and Newcastle tenures, but the pressure is wildly uneven: Sage may be sacked with a defeat, while Jaissle enjoys public backing despite Newcastle's 'chaotic' reputation. Sunday's clash at Selhurst Park could decide which project survives.
