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:

A long-range Newcastle free-kick is headed clear by Fulham. It falls to Almiron but his effort isn't caught well and trickles through to Leno.

SAVE! Wilson again creates something out of nothing with his back to goal. He turns and twists inside Diop but his curling effort with his right foot is telegraphed and Leno gets across well to hold on to the effort.

The corner comes to nothing and Fulham look to break. Tripper's backpass towards Pope is underhit but the Newcastle goalie is out of his box quick enough to clear it with Fulham's shirts bearing down on him.

Trippier receives the ball high up the pitch and works it inside to Longstaff. He threads it through to Wilson on the right edge of the box. The striker cuts it back into the area but there is no one on hand to met it and Fulham can clear.
