Newcastle’s absentee list continues to grow as Kieran Trippier misses today’s encounter against Fulham due to a suspension and Anthony Gordon is an injury doubt.

Having been knocked out of European competition during the week the Magpies will want a positive response at St. James’ Park this afternoon as their best chance of playing more Champions League football is to earn a top four spot.

The seventh place side welcome Fulham (10th) who have won their last two Premier League games 5-0, against Nottingham Forest and West Ham. Can they do the same today?

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Two goals to the good, Newcastle are showing no signs of slowing down as they go in pursuit of a third that would surely make the points safe.

Aged 17 years and 229 days, Miley is the youngest player to score for Newcastle in the Premier League. He is the competition's youngest scorer since Federico Macheda for Manchester United in April 2009 (17 years, 226 days).

Fulham have failed to win in their last 20 matches when conceding the opening goal in the Premier League dating back to October 23, 2022 against Leeds United. A man down, that streak looks unlikely to end here.

Gordon slides a neat ball into the path of Almiron in the Fulham box, though Diop gets across brilliantly to make a vital last-ditch block and divert behind for a corner. The resulting set-piece comes to nothing, but it is all Newcastle at the minute.

Leno makes another decent stop to deny Miley. Newcastle are really starting to pile on the pressure now, and the home crowd are responding as they show their appreciation. Howe will be pleased with this start to the second half.
