Pardew admits to away form concerns

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits he is worried by his team's away form after watching them slip to a 2-1 defeat at Fulham.

Newcastle have failed to win an away game in the Premier League this season and are just four points above the relegation zone.

The are currently 14th in the table and are available at 10/1 to be relegated this season but 33/1 to win the Europa League.

"I'm worried in so much as we aren't picking up enough points, that's pretty evident," said Pardew. "The performances against Stoke City, Wigan Athletic and now against Fulham have improved, but it is a worry we don't have enough points."

Fulham won the match thanks to goals by Steve Sidwell and Hugo Rodallega, while Hatem Ben Arfa found the net for Newcastle. Ben Arfa had missed the last four games through injury.

Newcastle's next Premier League match is against Manchester City on Saturday, a game Pardew's men can be backed at 28/1 to win 2-0.

Pardew said of the match against last season's champions: "I think at home we are a threat to anybody."
