Fulham lineup
This is the lineup presented by Marco Silva. There are six new additions to what was the midweek draw against Everton. Kraft, Hall, Longstaft, Willock, Murphy and Gordon.
Statements
The home keeper is not giving up hope of getting a good result: "Especially at home we are very dominant, we play our game, even against teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Villa at home, we dominated them all.
"That's how we will try to play again and we are very confident of getting another win at home."
João Palhinha spoke about the team's objectives for the end of the season: "We are looking to take as many points as possible.
"We would like to break the Club record for number of points in a Premier League season, but we know it won't be easy. But we will try to get as many wins as possible from now until the last game."
Ups and downs
With a long injury list, Fulham get back Lewis Hall, who should be fine for the weekend, while Anthony Gordon returns from suspension. Sandro Tonali remains suspended.

Injury-related departures
Newcastle have several absentees for this match due to injury: Miguel Almiron, Joelinton, Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Valentino Livramento, Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson; Lewis Miley and Matt Targett are doubtful.
Defined future?
Alexander Isak has become one of the most important players for Newcastle; he is the team's top scorer with 19 goals this season, and that has aroused the interest of several teams in Europe to take him in the summer. But the Magpies will have to sell a player in the next market to avoid breaching 'Financial Fair Play'.
Howe left a compliment for the player and wants the Swede to continue playing as he has. "So no, I don't think fear is the right word. I want Alex to keep scoring goals, I want him to keep making headline appearances (I'm sure he wants the same), but we want to keep him for the long term."
Changes in the sports management
During the week, rumors have surfaced that Paolo Maldini could be Newcastle's new sporting director in the face of Dan Ashworth's eventual departure to Manchester United where it only remains for United to pay the compensation the club has imposed for the manager to leave.
According to the Daily Mail, Maldini is among the candidates for the position. The Italian is currently free after leaving AC Milan due to disagreements with the new owners. He has taken a break to rest, but teams from the old continent have not been able to avoid looking favourably at the Rossoneri's historic player as an option.

How does Newcastle arrive?

In midweek they drew 1-1 against an Everton side that has not won in 2024 and salvaged a draw in the 88th minute through Calvert-Lewin.

On the road, the Magpies have won in three, lost in nine and drawn in two of their 14 games played.
How does Fulham arrive?
A busy week in the Premier League for the double-header, Fulham drew 3-3 against Sheffield United last Saturday after finding themselves behind on the scoreboard. Bobby Decordova-Reid and Rodrigo Muniz pulled the rug out from under the Cottagers' feet.
In midweek they went down 3-1 at the City Ground to Nottingham Forest, a game in which Marco Silva's side went behind after just nine minutes. Tosin Adarabioyo was in charge of making the score more decent.
They are currently in the thirteenth position with 39 points with a balance of 11 wins, 6 draws and 14 defeats.
