Match Preview
Newcastle welcome Fulham to St James’ Park this Saturday, October 25, 2025, in a Premier League clash that promises fireworks. The Magpies are looking to bounce back from a tricky few weeks, while the Cottagers will fancy their chances of pulling off a surprise.
Eddie Howe’s men have been solid at home lately but inconsistent overall. Meanwhile, Marco Silva’s Fulham have shown flashes of quality but still struggle to turn good performances into points. Expect a scrappy, high-energy game in the North East.
Form Guide
Newcastle’s recent form has been hit-and-miss. They’ve had a couple of strong wins followed by frustrating draws and losses. Injuries and fatigue seem to be creeping in, especially with their European commitments.
Fulham, on the other hand, are quietly putting together some steady results. They’ve tightened up defensively and look more confident going forward — even if goals have been hard to come by.
Newcastle (last 5): W-D-L-W-L

These two sides have met plenty of times in the Premier League, and Newcastle generally have the upper hand. The Magpies have won most of the recent meetings, especially at home, where they’ve been tough to beat.
However, Fulham did push them close last season and could fancy sneaking something if Newcastle aren’t at their best.

Team News
Eddie Howe still has a few selection headaches. Key players like Sven Botman and Harvey Barnes remain doubts, while Alexander Isak should be fit to lead the line. Bruno Guimarães will again pull the strings in midfield.
For Fulham, Raúl Jiménez and Andreas Pereira are likely to start, with Willian and Iwobi offering width and creativity. Marco Silva’s main concern will be maintaining balance between defense and attack.
Predicted Lineups
Newcastle (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schär, Lascelles, Burn; Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães, Joelinton; Gordon, Isak, Almirón
Fulham (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Jiménez
Players to Watch
-
Alexander Isak (Newcastle): Always a threat with his pace and finishing. If he’s sharp, Fulham’s defense could be in for a long afternoon.
-
João Palhinha (Fulham): The Portuguese destroyer will be crucial in breaking up Newcastle’s rhythm.
-
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle): In great form lately, his energy and directness could make the difference.
Prediction
Newcastle at home are usually a tough nut to crack. Fulham will compete, but the Magpies’ quality up top should eventually tell. Expect a tight first half before Newcastle take control.
Prediction: Newcastle 2–1 Fulham
Betting Tips
-
Both Teams to Score: Yes (Fulham can nick one on the break).
-
Over 2.5 Goals: Likely, given Newcastle’s attacking intent at home.
-
Anytime Scorer: Alexander Isak looks a good shout.
Final Thoughts
It might not be a walk in the park, but Newcastle should just edge this one. Fulham have improved but still lack consistency away from home. Expect a lively game with plenty of goalmouth action.
