Newcastle United vs Fulham: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Newcastle's recent form has been up and down, but they've been solid at home. Two wins and a draw in their last five games show they can get the job done at St. James' Park.

With Guimarães in midfield and Elanga and Gordon on the flanks, they've got the firepower to trouble any team. If they can keep their focus, they should have enough to see off Fulham.

Fulham have had a rough time on the road lately, losing three of their last four away games. But they've shown they can score, with wins against Brentford and Leeds at home.

If they can tighten up at the back and hit Newcastle on the counter, they might just pull off an upset. It won't be easy, but they've got the players to cause problems.

With Guimarães in midfield and Elanga and Gordon out wide, Newcastle will look to control the game and hit Fulham on the break. Their solid backline should give them a good platform to build from.

• Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Castagne (DF), Andersen (DF), Cuenca (DF), Sessegnon (DF), Cairney (MF), Berge (MF), Wilson (MF), King (MF), Iwobi (MF), Jiménez (AT) (If fit)

Fulham will rely on Cairney and Berge in midfield to dictate play and feed Jiménez (If fit) up top. Their defence will need to be on top form to keep Newcastle's attackers at bay.

• Elanga vs Sessegnon: This will be a key battle between Newcastle's pacey attacker and Fulham's versatile defender.

• Joelinton vs Berge: Newcastle's powerful midfielder will look to dominate the midfield against his Fulham counterpart.

• Guimarães (Newcastle United): The Brazilian midfielder is the key to Newcastle's control in the middle of the park.

• Cairney (Fulham): The experienced midfielder will be crucial for Fulham's chances of dictating play and creating chances.
