Fulham come into this with a mixed recent league run, but they have shown they can keep games tight at Craven Cottage, which gives them a platform here. Newcastle United have had more wins in their last five league matches, yet their away draw at Nottingham Forest and defeats to Arsenal and AFC Bournemouth show they are not completely secure on the road.
With both sides using a 4-2-3-1 in the predicted line-ups, the midfield battle should be important and the game may stay fairly balanced for long spells. Fulham’s home edge and Newcastle United’s injury list could make the difference in a narrow contest. Match Prediction: Fulham 2-1 Newcastle United
Form Guide & Team Overview
Fulham
Fulham’s recent league form has been mixed, with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five. They drew 1-1 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers in their most recent league outing, but before that lost 0-1 at home to AFC Bournemouth and 0-3 away to Arsenal.
There was a better spell in the middle of that run, with a 1-0 home win over Aston Villa and a 0-0 draw at Brentford. That suggests Fulham have been capable of keeping things tight, especially in the home win and away draw, even if the goals have not come freely.

Newcastle United
Newcastle United’s recent league form is stronger on paper, with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five. They beat West Ham United 3-1 at home in their latest league match, following a 1-1 draw away at Nottingham Forest and a 3-1 home win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Their two earlier results in that run were a 0-1 loss at Arsenal and a 1-2 home defeat to AFC Bournemouth. That shows Newcastle have been productive in attack at home, but they have also had spells where results have slipped against sides they would expect to compete with.

Team News & Injury Report
Fulham

Newcastle United
- Fabian Schär (Ankle Injury)
- Joelinton (Hamstring Injury)
Lineups & Tactical Setup
Fulham (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Bernd Leno (Goalkeeper), Antonee Robinson (Defender), Calvin Bassey (Defender), Issa Diop (Defender), Timothy Castagne (Defender), Alex Iwobi (Midfielder), Emile Smith Rowe (Midfielder), Oscar Bobb (Midfielder), Sander Berge (Midfielder), Saša Lukić (Midfielder), Rodrigo Muniz (Attacker)
Fulham’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a solid base, with the two deeper midfielders likely helping protect the back four and keep Newcastle United from playing through the middle too easily. The attacking midfield line should give Rodrigo Muniz support quickly, especially if Alex Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe can link play between the lines.
Newcastle United (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Nick Pope (Goalkeeper), Kieran Trippier (Defender), Lewis Hall (Defender), Malick Thiaw (Defender), Sven Botman (Defender), Bruno Guimarães (Midfielder), Harvey Barnes (Midfielder), Jacob Ramsey (Midfielder), Nick Woltemade (Midfielder), Sandro Tonali (Midfielder), William Osula (Attacker)
Newcastle United’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should allow Bruno Guimarães and Sandro Tonali to control the centre and set the tempo from deep. With Harvey Barnes, Jacob Ramsey and Nick Woltemade supporting William Osula, they have enough movement around the striker to create chances if they can get forward cleanly.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Fulham | Newcastle United | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Fulham | Newcastle United | Rodrigo Muniz will need to work hard against Kieran Trippier, because Newcastle United can use that side to limit space and force Fulham wide. |
| Fulham | Newcastle United | Alex Iwobi against Bruno Guimarães could shape the midfield rhythm, with Fulham needing Iwobi to find pockets before Newcastle United settle. |
| Fulham | Newcastle United | Rodrigo Muniz is key for Fulham because the recent line-ups show him as the main attacking reference point in their 4-2-3-1. |
| Fulham | Newcastle United | William Osula is key for Newcastle United because he is the central attacking outlet in their predicted shape and the player most likely to finish moves. |
