Newcastle United vs. Fulham will take place at St. James Park in the Premier League on February 1. On Saturday, the fifth-placed team will host the tenth-placed team.

Eddie Howe’s men are in good form and will look to go up high on the table in the upcoming fixtures. This is not the time to relax for Newcastle United even though they are sitting in the fifth spot. Many teams are there who are competing to get a European Competition spot and Newcastle are also in that race. In 23 games in the Premier League, they have won 12, drawn five and lost six games till now. Both Newcastle United and Fulham have a very rich history in English football and this fixture has always been a mouthwatering clash.

In the last five games, Howe’s team have only lost one game and has won four games comfortably. Their loss came against the Cherries who trashed Newcastle by 1-4 at home. Overall, the Blacks and Whites will be looking to improve their performance even more to get a good result against Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

On the other hand, Fulham suffered a disappointing loss at home against Manchester United as the game ended with a 0-1 scoreline. But Marco Silva’s men can bounce back from that defeat as they will travel to face Newcastle United.

In 23 games, they have won eight, drawn nine and lost six games, they have 33 points on board. If they somehow win back-to-back matches they will surely go high up in the table easily.

In the last five games, Fulham have won twice, lost twice and drawn one game. They do have a poor record away from home this season and they will have to give their best to get a good result against Eddie Howe’s men.
