Fulham – Newcastle

Fulham host Newcastle at Craven Cottage with the Cottagers sitting 18th on 5 points after one win, two draws and four losses, having scored seven and conceded ten. Newcastle arrive in London in 12th place, holding eight points from two victories, two draws and three defeats, and their goal tally sits at ten for and 14 against. The gap between the two sides is modest, but Fulham will be desperate to close the three‑point deficit and climb out of the relegation zone. Meanwhile Newcastle will look to extend their mid‑table push and capitalize on their slightly superior record. The clash promises a crucial test for both clubs as the season edges toward its decisive phase.
