Newcastle United vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Fulham today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Newcastle United vs Fulham
Meanwhile, visitors Fulham have made one enforced change following last weekend’s 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United. Adama Traore replaces the injured Harry Wilson, who requires surgery on a fractured foot. The Cottagers are the only side to have more than one player play every single minute of every game in the Premier League this season (Bernd Leno and Antonee Robinson), while Robinson is one of four outfielders to do so this season, along with Illia Zabarnyi, Nathan Collins and Virgil van Dijk.

Eddie Howe names an unchanged starting XI for today’s clash against Fulham, as Newcastle look to strengthen their Champions League aspirations. Unsurprisingly, star striker Alexander Isak leads the line for the hosts. Since the start of December, the Swede has scored more Premier League goals than any other player (13), also outscoring six different teams in that time. Isak is now second in Newcastle’s leading Premier League scorers (48 goals), behind Alan Shearer on 148, while he needs one goal to become the leading Swedish scorer; he is currently level with Freddie Ljungberg.

Meanwhile, visitors Fulham make the long trip to Tyneside hoping to bounce back following a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United last time out. The Cottagers currently sit in 10th place in the Premier League table, but a run of just three wins in their last 12 league matches (D6 L3) has halted their aspirations of securing European football for next season. Marco Silva's side have picked up 16 points in 11 away league games this season (W4 D4 L3), only two fewer than they managed last season (18 in 19 games). Their 1.45 points-per-game on the road in 2024-25 is their best tally in a single league campaign.

Hosts Newcastle come into today’s huge game against Fulham hoping to continue their push for Champions League qualification. Barring their shock slip-up at home to Bournemouth, the Magpies have been in brilliant form over the past few months, winning ten of their last 11 matches in all competitions. Eddie Howe’s outfit returned to winning ways last weekend away at Southampton thanks to another sensational performance from Alexander Isak and will be aiming to move into the top four with victory over Marco Silva’s side.
