Comments and predictions for Newcastle vs Fulham: Lucky win

Newcastle United will be looking to improve their position and increase their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League when they welcome Fulham to St James' Park in the Premier League this weekend. The home team will be keen to get three points against the London club to avenge their 3-1 defeat in the first leg.

Latest Newcastle vs Fulham team information

Newcastle United will be without Harvey Barnes, Callum Wilson and Jamaal Lascelles due to injury. Miguel Almiron has also just officially moved to Atlanta United after 6 years at St James' Park. Goalkeeper Nick Pope was able to return in the match last weekend but he is still sidelined, and coach Howe is considering whether to give Pope a chance to start or continue to trust Martin Dubravka. In addition, Sven Botman may also return in defense, alongside familiar names in attack.

For Fulham, Harry Wilson will be out for around 10 weeks after being diagnosed with a foot injury that requires surgery. Reiss Nelson and Kenny Tete are also continuing their treatment. Wilson's absence could give Traore more playing time on the right flank, unless manager Marco Silva moves Smith Rowe out wide to allow Tom Cairney to play freely in midfield. In the first leg earlier this season, both Smith Rowe and Raul Jimenez scored in a 3-1 win over Newcastle and both are reliable names in Fulham's attack in the upcoming match.

Latest expected lineup for Newcastle vs Fulham

Newcastle United:

Dubravka; Livramento, Botman, Schar, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Fulham:

Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Latest Newcastle vs Fulham football review

Newcastle have been in impressive form recently, winning 10 of their last 11 games in all competitions, except for a 1-4 home defeat to Bournemouth. In their most recent match, they also showed a strong comeback with a 3-1 win over Southampton thanks to a brace from Alexander Isak, who also set a record by becoming the first Newcastle player to score in five consecutive away games.

Eddie Howe was pleased with his players' response after Southampton took the lead. They have now taken 15 points from losing positions this season. Newcastle are currently fifth, level on points with Manchester City, and are aiming to secure a top four spot. Eddie Howe's side are unbeaten at home, having gone eight games without defeat and five wins in their last eight meetings with Fulham, also keeping a clean sheet in six of those games.

Fulham have just found the joy of winning after beating Leicester 2-0 at the King Power Stadium two weeks ago, after being held to a draw and defeated in the previous stage. The recent 0-1 defeat to Manchester United was quite unlucky, as this was a match in which the opponent had only one shot on target, Marco Silva complained after the match about that defeat. Fulham still have ambitions to win a place to participate in European cups next season. They are still 10th in the rankings and are 8 points away from the top 4. With the current unstable form at home with only one win in the last 5 matches, and playing well away with 3 wins in the last 7 matches, it will be difficult for Fulham to have a positive result when facing Newcastle in the next round. The last time Fulham won when visiting Newcastle was in the 2006-07 and 2008-09 seasons.
