A depleted Newcastle United side will look to shake off their heartbreaking exit from the UCL as they host a high-flying Fulham side who are on the back of two scintillating victories in thePremier League.
Eddie Howe's Newcastle United were just half an hour away from rewriting history before Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze turned around the scoreline dumping the English outfit out of Europe.
With numerous positives from the 2023/24 UCL campaign including the 4-1 thumping of PSG, the Magpies can stay fully focussed on their Premier League campaign.
A jam-packed schedule might have seen Newcastle lose two games on the trot but they could get back to winning ways against Fulham as they'll be vying to finish in the top-4 once again.
Fulham could make use of Newcastle's run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions and with them recovering from the heartbreaking exit from Europe.
With 10 goals scored in their previous two games without a reply, Fulham are enjoying a goal fest of their own as they'll be vying to dismantle Newcastle and climb the Premier League ladder.
