Fulham host Newcastle United at the Craven Cottage on Saturday for their fourth-round clash in the FA Cup, hoping to put their recent cup heartbreak behind them.
The Cottagers saw their dream run in the Carabao Cup ended following a 3-2 aggregate loss to Liverpool. The Reds had won the first leg 2-1 at Anfield, while the sides played out a 1-1 draw in Fulham on Wednesday.
Marco Silva's side aimed to turn the tie around at home, but those hopes were quickly squished as Luis Diaz made it 3-1 on aggregate after just 11 minutes.
Issa Diop managed to pull one back for the London side in the 76th minute, but it was too little too late.
Now, Fulham turn their attention towards another cup and will be hoping to avoid the embarrassing prospect of cup exits in consecutive games.
Newcastle United have dropped off significantly this season after reaching dizzying heights last campaign. With just 29 points from 21 games, the Magpies are down in 10th position on the league table and have lost their last four top-flight matches.
Yet, they remain three places above Fulham, having accrued five points more, and in December, had beaten the side 3-0 in a Premier League clash at home.
