Newcastle United take on a Fulham side that have won just once in their last six matches.
The Magpies though go into this one on the back of a reality check at Leeds after losing 5-2 and ending their short winning run of two matches.
United have had a few "must win" games in recent years but if they want to avoid being dragged into trouble this one needs to be a victory, it's six-pointer even at this stage of the season.
Lee Ryder's prediction.
I think Newcastle will get the win they need here but it they will have to show similar battling qualities as they did against West Brom last weekend.
Defensively they will obviously need to improve but Steve Bruce has the players available to him who can shut the Cottagers out and Karl Darlow's form this season can't be questioned.
I'll go for a narrow win and tip Newcastle to bounce back from their Elland Road horror show.
