Newcastle United fans might have feared the worst after a heavy 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth, especially when they found themselves trailing against Southampton in their next outing.
However, Eddie Howe’s side showed resilience, fighting back to secure a 3-1 victory. With Alexander Isak continuing to find the net, Newcastle’s push for European qualification remains very much alive, having put together an impressive run of seven wins in their last eight league matches.
Heading into the latest round of fixtures, Newcastle sit level on points with reigning champions Manchester City, a testament to their strong league campaign. St. James’ Park has been a fortress in recent weeks, with three of their last four home league victories coming by at least a three-goal margin, all without conceding. That defensive strength, coupled with their firepower in attack, makes them a daunting opponent, especially for a Fulham side that has struggled at this ground in recent meetings.
Fulham arrive at St. James’ Park trailing Newcastle by eight points, having suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Manchester United in their last outing. Their season appears to be in limbo, with European qualification looking unlikely but relegation concerns also comfortably avoided. However, the prospect of securing a first league double over Newcastle since the 2008/09 campaign may provide them with the motivation to aim higher.
Despite their mixed league position, Fulham have shown signs of improvement away from home, losing just once in their last seven Premier League matches on the road. That resurgence is reflected in their away points tally, which is already just two short of the total they managed across the entirety of last season. If they can continue that upward trend, they could pose a serious challenge to Newcastle’s impressive home form.
The hosts will look to Anthony Gordon as a key attacking outlet, with the winger proving instrumental at St. James’ Park. He has found the net in three of Newcastle’s last five home league games, with two of those goals coming between the 60th and 75th minute. His ability to influence matches in crucial moments makes him a significant threat once again.
On the other side, Adama Traoré could be a player to watch for Fulham. The winger has provided two goal contributions in his last four appearances, including a goal and an assist. Notably, both of his league goals this season have come away from home and were the second strike of the game, a stat that highlights his impact in crucial moments.
Fulham’s defensive resilience has been a standout feature this season, particularly in the early stages of matches. They have conceded just four times in the opening 30 minutes of games, the lowest total in the league. Newcastle, by contrast, have been more vulnerable in that period, letting in ten goals within the same timeframe. This contrast in defensive records could play a significant role in how the match unfolds.
Newcastle’s dominance in recent home encounters against Fulham will give them added confidence, having gone unbeaten in the last eight meetings at St. James’ Park. That record, combined with their impressive recent form, makes them favorites heading into the contest. However, Fulham’s improved away performances suggest they will not be an easy opponent.
With both teams possessing attacking quality and a point to prove, this fixture has the makings of an entertaining battle. Newcastle will be eager to maintain their push for a European spot, while Fulham will aim to disrupt that momentum and reignite their own ambitions for the remainder of the campaign.
A positive result for Newcastle would further strengthen their position among the league’s top contenders, while Fulham will be hoping to make a statement by overcoming one of the division’s in-form sides. The clash at St. James’ Park promises goals, drama, and plenty of talking points as both teams look to take another step forward in their respective campaigns.
