Fulham host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage looking to continue a three-match unbeaten run that has lifted them clear of the relegation zone.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s side have lost just once in their last six Premier League matches, a turnaround built on defensive solidity after a winless start to the campaign, and sit 15th with two points to spare over the bottom three. Fulham have won three of their last four meetings with Newcastle, including a 2-0 win on the final day of last season courtesy of a Tom Cairney wondergoal.
Fulham team news
Fulham have a clean bill of health heading into the weekend, with Ryan Sessegnon available again after serving a three-match suspension and in contention to rival Antonee Robinson for a start at left-back. Hugo Larsson, Cesar Palacios and Tom Cairney are all pushing for a central midfield start, though Arbeloa may again opt for Shea Charles and Sander Berge in deeper roles with Joshua King at number 10.
Gonzalo Garcia is likely to retain his place as the central striker despite going eight successive Premier League starts without a goal, meaning Rodrigo Muniz could again be limited to a role off the bench. Fulham have conceded only three goals in their last six league matches, the best defensive record among the division’s bottom-eight sides.
Fulham predicted lineup
Fulham possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Charles; Bobb, King, Iwobi; Garcia
