Newcastle vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result as hosts win against 10-man Cottagers

Howe makes two changes from the side that started the defeat to Milan, with Burn fit enough to play from the off for the first time since early November. He comes in for the suspended Kieran Trippier, while Longstaff starts ahead of Miley in midfield. Botman returns on the bench having missed time through injury, while Alexander Isak is absent from the squad.

SUBS: Fode Ballo-Toure, Rodrigo Muniz, Carlos Vinicius, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Harrison Reed, Marek Rodak, Kenny Tete, Sasa Lukic, Willian.

FULHAM (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Timothy Castagne, Tosin Adarabioyo, Issa Diop, Antonee Robinson; Joao Palhinha, Tom Cairney; Alex Iwobi, Andreas Pereira, Harry Wilson; Raul Jimenez.

SUBS: Lewis Hall, Alex Murphy, Lewis Miley, Mark Gillespie, Loris Karius, Paul Dummett, Emil Krafth, Sven Botman, Matt Ritchie.

NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-3-3): Martin Dubravka; Valentino Livramento, Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton; Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon.

Fulham, meanwhile, arrive at St James' Park very much in form, winning three of their last four, including the last two by a 5-0 scoreline. All three of those wins came at Craven Cottage, though, and the Londoners will be bidding to win for just the second time away from home in the Premier League this season.

It has been a rough couple of weeks for Newcastle, who have lost their last three in a row in all competitions. The most recent of those was a 2-1 loss to Milan in midweek that saw their hopes of Champions League progression ended, and Eddie Howe will be hoping for a response from his players here to boost the Magpies' chances of European qualification come the end of the season.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Fulham at St James' Park.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Livramento, Lascelles, Schar, Burn, Guimaraes, Longstaff, Joelinton, Almiron, Gordon, Wilson
