Newcastle United vs Fulham Match Preview

The host Newcastle United will face off against Fulham at St. James’ Park in Gameweek 17 of the English Premier League. Newcastle is currently 7th in the table with 26 points while Fulham sits at 10th with a total of 21 points.

The previous few days must have been a real nightmare to be a Magpies fan as Newcastle United have lost three consecutive games in a row now, with two huge defeats coming against Everton and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League while a loss against Italian giants, AC Milan at home has resulted in Eddie Howe’s team finishing at the bottom of their Champions League group.

On the other hand, Fulham entered Saturday’s game after hammering the Hammers 5-0 at the Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s men have been on a decent run of form recently with three wins in their last four Premier League games. 

Eddie Howe’s men would be looking to get back to winning ways on Saturday while Marco Silva’s Fulham must be confident and must be looking forward to building on this momentum. It would be interesting to see how both the teams line up against each other come this Saturday at St. James’ Park.
