The Premier League is back in action with another round of important matches this weekend as Fulham take on Newcastle United at Craven Cottage this weekend. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Fulham are in 18th place in the Premier League standings at the moment and have already been relegated from the English top flight. The Cottagers held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw last weekend and will want a similar result from this match.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table and have not been at their best this season. The Magpies edged Sheffield United to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will want another victory on Sunday.
Fulham vs Newcastle United Head-to-Head
Fulham have a slight historical edge over Newcastle United and have won 31 games out of a total of 74 matches played between the two teams. Newcastle United have managed 28 victories against Fulham and will want to cut the deficit this weekend.
The reverse fixture between the two English sides took place in December last year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical in this game.

Fulham vs Newcastle United Prediction
Newcastle United will have to do without some of the most lethal attacking players this weekend and have plenty of work to do ahead of this fixture. Andy Carroll will likely be given an opportunity to shine and will have to bring his experience to the fore this weekend.
Fulham have not done justice to their potential this season and seem keen on making a statement of intent in their last Premier League fixture this year. Both teams are evenly matched on paper and are likely to play out a draw on Sunday.
Prediction: Fulham 1-1 Newcastle United
