Fulham v Newcastle United preview ahead of Premier League clash
Welcome to the Fulham v Newcastle United preview. Saturday 7th November and a 3pm kick-off.
Newcastle United travel to London this weekend looking to draw a line under a disastrous double defeat in League and Cup to Everton, that has the potential to derail our season before it's really got started. The Toon will be hoping to get their season back on track before a tedious international break is followed by a make or break run of fixtures that may very well define the campaign.
Despite this being our thirteenth match of 2026-27, this will be only our second game of the season not selected for live TV. Meaning we can enjoy the comparative luxury of a Saturday 3pm kick-off and travelling Toon fans should have plenty of time to enjoy before and after the match…fingers crossed they'll enjoy the actual match itself as well!
Form Newcastle have won two and lost four of their past six league matches as a decent start to the season has disintegrated to an alarming degree. Wins have come against Hull City and Crystal Palace but terrible defeats against four ordinary teams in the shape of Leeds, Coventry, Villa and Everton have seen the Toon drop a very achievable twelve points.
We've scored six goals in these six matches but conceded a whopping eleven and only kept one clean sheet. The six points gained has us languishing in thirteenth position but a reflection of a bang average league means we could squeeze into the top seven this weekend should all results go our way.
Fulham have won two, drawn three and lost one of their past six league games. Victories have come against Coventry and Hull whilst they've drawn with Liverpool, Man United and Aston Villa.
Their loss came away at Ipswich. They've scored five goals in these games and conceded four.
They currently sit fifteenth in the league despite a dreadful start to the season that saw them take just two points from their first six matches. A win at the weekend would see them leapfrog the Toon and could see them as high as eighth depending on results elsewhere.
Last time out Newcastle hosted Everton on Monday night and were left deeply disappointed by a second defeat to the Toffees in just five days. The first half was a complete non-event with United looking and playing like an away team, barely getting out of their own half let alone troubling old nemesis Jordan Pickford.
