Newcastle’s Jekyll and Hyde home and away formpublished at 10:39 GMT<\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Fulham on Wednesday
\nnight provides a welcome return to St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n

The Magpies\u2019 contrasting form at home and on the road has been
\nof the Jekyll and Hyde variety this season – they have won just twice away in 11
\nattempts in all competitions, most recently losing the Wear-Tyne derby at Sunderland
\non Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n

Such a torrid record jars entirely with how Eddie Howe\u2019s
\nside have played at home, winning nine of 13 matches,
\nincluding seven of the past eight. Newcastle have not lost at St James\u2019 Park in
\nany competition since September. <\/p>\n

So why is the form of such a talented squad varying so dramatically?
\nFixture congestion may be playing some part as Newcastle fight on four fronts
\nthis season but data from Premier League matches suggests that Newcastle are
\nstruggling against teams who defend from a deeper position \u2013 particularly away
\nfrom home. <\/p>\n

The Magpies have won just once away from home in the league
\nagainst Everton on 29 November. In that match, Newcastle had just over 50%
\npossession, which is more in line with their average in home fixtures this
\nseason. <\/p>\n

However, their overall average possession on the road rises
\nto 54%, and when Newcastle have more of the ball, they create fewer chances, have fewer touches in the opposition box and
\nscore fewer goals. <\/p>\n

Sitting deep may prove to be a useful tactic for Fulham
\ntomorrow night. <\/p>\n
