Fulham fought to draws against Liverpool and Brighton in their two most recent fixtures, leaving them 18th in the standings with five points, and they could escape the relegation zone – if briefly – with a win here.
And that might just be achievable against a Newcastle outfit whose confidence will no doubt have been knocked by their 5-2 loss to Leeds this week. A competitive match devolved into a thrashing in the final 13 minutes as Steve Bruce’s Magpies conceded three late on, and the manager will have told his players that much more resilience is needed from here on out.
A win at St James’ Park could see the hosts rise to the top half of the table – depending on how Saturday’s other fixtures play out.
