Newcastle won 2-0 at Fulham on the final day of last season – they have not won consecutive Premier League matches against promoted sides since November 2015, while they have not done so away from home since winning all three such contests in 2013/14.
Allan Saint-Maximin has been directly involved in three goals in his last three Premier League matches for Newcastle (two goals and one assist), as many as in his previous 12 for the Magpies. This is the first time in his Premier League career he has been involved in a goal in three consecutive appearances.
