Most recent H2Hs: Advantage Fulham
Fulham should take plenty of encouragement from their performances against Newcastle last season, as they won both league matches against the Magpies. Prior to last season, Newcastle had a good record in this fixture, though, so we perhaps shouldn't read too much into last season's results.

Newcastle preview: Tonali and Joelinton to return
Sandro Tonali missed the match against Benfica entirely in the week, while Joelinton was only fit enough to come on from the bench. Both men are expected to return to the starting XI, which means Lewis Miley will drop to the bench. Lewis Hall, Lino Livramento and Yoane Wissa are all still out.
Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Barnes, Woltemade, Gordon
Last five results
- Newcastle 3-0 Benfica

Fulham will be without Joachim Andersen on Saturday after the defender picked up a hamstring injury in the match against Arsenal last week. Andersen joins Antonee Robinson, Samuel Chukweuze and Rodrigo Muniz in the treatment room, while Harry Wilson is considered touch-and-go.
Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Castagne, Cuenca, Bassey, Sessegnon, Lukic, Berge, Traore, King, Iwobi, Jimenez

Player to watch: Nick Woltemade
Not even the most optimistic Newcastle fan would have predicted how quickly Nick Woltemade has settled in at St James' Park, and the big man looks every inch an adequate replacement for Alexander Isak. Can Woltemade bag his fifth league goal of the season this weekend?
