Fulham will host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign. The home side have had a mixed start to their league campaign and currently find themselves 12th in the table with five points from four matches.
They played out a 1-1 draw against West Ham United in their last league outing and had looked set to be headed toward a narrow victory following Raul Jimenez's first-half strike before their opponents leveled the scores at the death. The Cottagers were, however, knocked out by Preston North End in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday and will be looking to put out a response this weekend.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have enjoyed a bright start to their season and are now making an early push for continental football. They beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 last time out, heading into the break a goal down before Fabian Schar and Harvey Barnes netted second-half stunners to help clinch maximum points for the Magpies.
The visitors now sit third in the table with 10 points from an obtainable 12 and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
