Newcastle United vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Champions League-chasing Newcastle host an in-form Fulham in the Premier League
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Fulham in the Premier League today.
The Magpies are flying high under Eddie Howe, fourth in the table and unbeaten since the end of August in this competition - though they did lose to Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup recently. Goalless draws with Leeds and Arsenal recently leave them slightly adrift of the Manchester clubs above them, but a top-four finish this term would represent huge progress.
Fulham, meanwhile, are into the top six after four wins on the spin, including a derby win over Chelsea last time out. Aleksandar Mitrovic returns from suspension today to face his former club.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

De Cordova-Reid breaks down the left-hand side and fires it into Pereira. It's a great turn from the Brazillian who beats Burn before going down. There are appeals from the Fulham player but the referee is having none of it.

OFF THE POST! Schar rattles the post. Everyone was expecting Trippier to step up but it is the central defender who strikes it to the other side of the wall. Leno is well beaten but it smashes the post before Almiron's follow-up effort is blocked out for a corner.

This free-kick is in a perfect area for Trippier and it came after some more great work from Joelinton.
