In the three games since Alan Pardew exited Newcastle United for Crystal Palace, the club has failed to win a single game, with a draw and two defeats coming in that time. Hull City are fighting for their Premier League lives at the bottom of the standings, and they will make it no easier for Newcastle to end their three-game slide at the KC Stadium. Here are five bold predictions for the Magpies and the Tigers.

Despite no wins in the last three games, Newcastle haven't played too badly and have still managed to maintain a threat in attack.

He will be one of the key players to the eventual result.
