Team News

Newcastle
Fulham
  • Newcastle's injury crisis shows no sign of letting up, with Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier now doubts, with the latter suspended here in any case.
  • In positive news for the hosts, Dan Burn returned from a spell out injured to play 30 minutes against AC Milan on Wednesday evening.
  • Fulham will be without Issa Diop, Adama Traore and Willian here.
  • Marco Silva will look to go with a similar XI to that which has picked up back-to-back 5-0 victories.

Prediction

  • Newcastle have now lost three consecutive matches for the second time this season and lost at home on Wednesday evening for the first time since late October.
  • Eddie Howe's side are now seven points adrift of the Premier League's top four and in desperate need of a positive result to put an end to their recent slump.
  • Fulham are one of the division's form sides heading into this one, having won three of their last four matches, while scoring 16 goals in the process.
  • The visitors' strong form has seen them move into the top half, and they might just fancy their chances here against a wounded Newcastle team.

  • Goals rainfall over 5.5

  • 2-0

  • over 2.5 and bets I think, although I feel Fulham could surprise Newcastle here

  • Newcastle has lost both of their games since Pope was injured, giving up 3.5 goals per game in two road defeats. Newcastle is 4-1-0 when Wilson starts, and 5-2-1 when Longstaff starts. Newcastle are 2-0-2 in Livramento's starts, all of these at LB, but he has subbed at RB 3 times. Fulham is a mere 0-1-4 when Willian isn't starting. On the other hand, they are 4-0-1 with Cairney starting and 3-1-0 when the recently returning Adarabioyo is starting.

  • @Correa33 so.... score?

  • Home win

  • must be an entertaining match between offensive Newcastle at home and improved Fulham. BTTS +3.5

  • Newcastle Win
