Newcastle United head to London aiming to immediately bounce back from their 1-1 draw with Everton at St James’ Park on Tuesday night. Howe’s side were pegged back late on by Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s late penalty to deny them all three points.
Today offers them another chance to strengthen their claim for European qualification when they face a Fulham side they have already beaten twice this season. A 3-0 win at St James’ Park in December was followed by a 2-0 triumph at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup in January.
However, the Magpies come into this game with a whole host of injury and suspension issues to contend with, whilst Marco Silva has very few, if any, problems to deal with. It is set to be another huge Premier League meeting on what could prove to be a pivotal period of the season for both teams.
Here, we take a look at the latest outs and doubts from both camps ahead of Fulham v Newcastle United:
