Newcastle United will host Fulham at St. James’ Park on Sunday night, hoping to take all three points in this home game. The Magpies enter the game off the back of a 2-0 victory over Leicester City, which advanced them to the EFL Cup semi-finals. Fulham, on the other hand, had a similar result against Chelsea, which will keep their spirits up coming into this match.
Eddie Howe will stick with the 4-3-3 system that has been working for them and may make a couple of changes to the starting lineup for this home game. Allan Saint-Maximin is expected to start on the left flank, while Jamaal Lascelles replaces Sven Botman in the backline.
