Newcastle United will be traveling to London this weekend to face Fulham at Craven Cottage. The Magpies had a poor away record last season, but they managed to secure victories in both the FA Cup and Premier League when playing at Fulham’s ground. This season, Newcastle started positively on their travels with a comeback win against Wolves, thanks to a goal from Harvey Barnes. While Fulham suffered a penalty shootout defeat in the Carabao Cup, they have been performing well under manager Marco Silva and were moments away from defeating West Ham last weekend.
In terms of team news, Fulham will be without reserve striker Carlos Vinicius due to a minor calf injury. However, he is not expected to be sidelined for long. Raul Jimenez could keep Rodrigo Muniz out of the starting lineup, and loanee Reiss Nelson may feature alongside former Arsenal teammates Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi.
For Newcastle, Sandro Tonali could make his first Premier League start since returning from his betting suspension. Joe Willock has also returned from injury and is available for selection. However, Callum Wilson remains sidelined with an injury, and there are doubts over Alexander Isak’s availability.
Despite potential absences and injury concerns for both teams, Newcastle has an impressive record against Fulham with six consecutive wins in their previous meetings. This history of success should give them confidence heading into the match.
this clash between Newcastle United and Fulham promises to be an entertaining affair. Both teams have shown stability and balance this season which should make for fierce competition on the pitch. With momentum from their recent win against Wolves, Newcastle will look to continue their positive form in this fixture.
