How both teams go into Newcastle vs Fulham
Newcastle may have seen their winning run come to an end, but the Magpies are still in a very good position in the top four race. Eddie Howe’s side trail fourth-placed Manchester City on goal difference alone. And that was only down to Man City’s heavy win over Ipswich Town. Of course, fifth could also be enough to secure Champions League football should English teams continue to do well in Europe. But Newcastle will want to be certain by finishing on the top four. And the run starts again as they look to bounce back from a heavy home defeat last time out.
Fulham can’t be counted out of the European race either. Although they do sit 10th, things are extremely close in the top half of the table. The Cottagers also recently brought a winless run to an end with victory over relegation-battling Leicester City. Marco Silva’s men have also been pretty impressive on the road of late, losing just one of their past seven away league games. This includes draws at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Anfield, and a win at Stamford Bridge.
Newcastle team news
Newcastle will remain without Harvey Barnes, Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson for this game. But the trio are very close to returning.
Fulham team news
Reiss Nelson could be in line for a return for this game, with Kenny Tete the only other absentee.
