Newcastle United travel to the capital aiming to extend their unbeaten start to the season.
The Magpies have a very good recent record at Craven Cottage having won on their last five visits to Fulham. They completed a league and cup double at Craven Cottage last season with a 2-0 win in the FA Cup followed by a 1-0 triumph in the league.
Howe’s side entered the weekend in third place in the table and will finish Saturday top of the league if they are able to secure all three points. Fulham, meanwhile, come into the game in 12th place having won just one league game.
They were denied a second win of the season by a stoppage time Danny Ings equaliser last weekend and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Championship side Preston North End in midweek. Here, we take a look at everything supporters need to know ahead of Newcastle United’s clash with Fulham:
