Fulham and Newcastle United will face each other at Craven Cottage in London in the Premier League this weekend. The match is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time on Saturday and promises to be an exciting game of football.

Fulham

Fulham won promotion from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of last season and were expected by many to struggle in the top flight of English football. However, the Cottagers are doing extremely well at the moment, and it does not look like they will have any issue to retaining their Premier League status for next season.

Marco Silva’s side are sixth in the Premier League table at the moment with 11 points from seven matches, just two points behind fourth-placed Brighton and Hove Albion. Fulham will head into the match against Newcastle United on the back of a 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground in the Premier League. It followed a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur away from home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the London derby.

Team News:

Aleksandar Mitrovic has been banging in the goals for fun for Fulham at the moment and will be determined to score against his former club Newcastle United. Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno will be in goal for the Cottagers.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United were expected to push for a top-10 finish in the Premier League table this season, but things are not going particularly well at the moment. There have been injury problems, and the team are not picking up as many points as fans would have expected them to.

Eddie Howe’s side are 10th in the Premier League table at the moment with eight points from seven matches. Newcastle are five points behind fourth-placed Brighton and Hove Albion. The Magpies will head into the match against Fulham on the back of a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at St. James’ Park in the league. It followed a goalless draw with Crystal Palace at home in the league.

Team News:

Alexander Isak is injured at the moment, and the Sweden international striker will not be available for Newcastle United for the Premier League game. Brazil international midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, though, should be fit.

Key Factors to Consider:

• Fulham have scored 12 goals in 7 Premier League games.
• Fulham have conceded 11 goals in 7 Premier League games.
• Newcastle United have scored 8 goals in 7 Premier League matches.
• Newcastle United have conceded 7 goals in 7 Premier League matches.
• Newcastle United have won 1 of their 7 Premier League matches.

Conclusion:

Fulham will head into the match against Newcastle United as favourites and will fancy their chances of picking up all three points from the Premier League game. Newcastle will eventually get things back on track, but it is unlikely that they will be able to get anything from the match in London.
