Eagles v Magpies

We’ve done very well to go the first four games unbeaten but there is still room for improvement and our offensive play must get better if we still want to be considered as a top team. We’re still without Jairo Riedewald but Javi Garcia did well as replacement and he might get the chance to prove himself once more when we face The Magpies at home.

The visitors is also off to a great start to the season and they got some tremendous players in the roster. World class players like Matthjis de Ligt, Raheem Sterling, Thomas Müller and Christopher Nkunku must be stopped if we want a positive result.

It’s a long travel for The Magpies and it’s up to us to send them back home without something to prove. For us it’s games like this we need to put in the extra shift and show we’re able to fight against the best teams in the Championship.

Leeds United v Fulham

Leeds look to continue their excellent start to the season which sees them sitting in 2nd place. A serious challenge is heading to Elland Road in the shape of Fulham, the boys from the Cottage currently sit one place below Leeds in the table. Last weeks 2-0 win at Tottenham sees Leeds go into the game in high spirits. No fresh injury worries for gaffer Mark Baldwin to contend with. A few low level fitness sees Baldwin having to use the squad a little more than he wanted to, but has full faith in the squad as whole to get the job done. Line up v Fulham:

F_Jorgensen, M_Akanji, M_Van_den_Ven, Nico Elevedi, J_Branthwaite, J_Firpo, M_Ugarte, O_Akgun, J_Stevens, K_Adeyemi, E_Nketiah

Best of luck to Fulham.

West Ham United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Only our second away game of the season against a very good side and this will be a big test of where we are. We did manage a great result at Newcastle in our other away game but there are a lot of sides I know little about coming up for us this season and it's a learning curve.

The squad has been built to a degree and it's proving hard to add players now - not helped by managers continuing to refuse to get back to me. We will have to try other approaches and we will still keep our ears to the ground for if any other opportunities to get players in come up. Midfield feels like the big area to strengthen
