Newcastle United vs. Fulham: Prediction, Team News & Lineups | Feb 1, 2025

Newcastle United will look to strengthen their Champions League push when they host Fulham at St James’ Park. The Magpies are out for revenge after their 3-1 loss in the reverse fixture in September.

Newcastle United

Since mid-December, Eddie Howe’s men have been in stunning form, winning 10 of their last 11 matches in all competitions. The only blemish came in a surprising 4-1 home defeat to Bournemouth.

Newcastle responded to that setback with a solid 3-1 victory over bottom club Southampton, where Alexander Isak netted twice. The Swedish forward now has 17 league goals, making him the third-highest scorer in the competition.

Sitting in fifth place, level on points with fourth-placed Manchester City, Newcastle will aim to secure another three points before their EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal next week.

Current Form:

  • Last 5 matches: 4 wins, 1 loss
  • Last match: 3-1 win vs. Southampton (A)

Key Players:

  • Alexander Isak – 17 goals this season, including five match openers.
  • Bruno Guimarães – Newcastle’s midfield general, dictating play with precision.

Fulham

Marco Silva’s men remain in the hunt for a European spot but have lacked consistency, winning just three of their last 12 league games. Their recent 1-0 defeat to Manchester United was a bitter pill to swallow, as they conceded from the only shot on target they faced.
