Fulham host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon to conclude their Premier League campaign.
Marco Silva manages his final match for the London club amid strong links to Benfica. Both teams have officially missed out on European qualification this season. They now battle for a lucrative top-half finish and significant prize money. Fulham sit 13th and aim to secure their second top-ten finish under the Portuguese manager.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United arrive seeking a positive conclusion to an underwhelming campaign. Eddie Howe’s men have collected seven points from their last three matches. Victory today would yield 10 points from their final four games to lift the mood on Tyneside.

Team news
Fulham
Fulham will miss integral defender Joachim Andersen following his red card against Bournemouth last weekend. Ryan Sessegnon recently returned to training after a muscular concern, but remains a major doubt. Winger Harry Wilson expects a recall for his potential final appearance in a white shirt.
Newcastle United
Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali faces a late fitness assessment to evaluate a tight hamstring. Joe Willock stands ready to step into the engine room if the Italian misses out. Joelinton, Lewis Miley, Emil Krafth, Tino Livramento, and Fabian Schär remain entirely sidelined through injury.
Form
Fulham
Fulham enter this fixture winless in their last three Premier League matches. They drew 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out following a penalty from Antonee Robinson. The Cottagers have heavily relied on their strong home form this term.
They have secured 10 home league victories, their highest top-flight tally since 2011-12. None of Newcastle’s 17 previous Premier League visits to Craven Cottage have ended in a draw.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United travel south following a morale-boosting 3-1 victory over West Ham United last weekend. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive matches.
The Magpies have won just two of their eight away league games in 2026. That said, both of those victories came in the capital against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. They also remain unbeaten in their last seven final-day matches played in London.
Predicted lineups
Fulham Predicted XI: Leno; Castagne, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Iwobi, Lukic; Wilson, King, Kevin; Jimenez
Newcastle United Predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Guimaraes, Willock; Barnes, Woltemade, Ramsey; Osula
