  • Fulham are 11th in the standings on 49 points

  • Newcastle are ninth in the table, level on points with the Cottagers

  • Recommended Bet: Newcastle to win

Fulham and Newcastle will bring the curtain down on their Premier League season when they clash at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.

Neither side are able to qualify for Europe and there is the obvious question of how much effort both sides will put in for this end-of-season fixture.

But the Magpies are finishing the campaign strongly, collecting seven points from the last nine on offer, and they look capable of claiming the spoils in the capital.

Team news

Ryan Sessegnon has been nursing a thigh injury and is a doubt for Fulham. Joachim Andersen remains suspended following his red card against Bournemouth.

Prediction

Fulham’s season has been petered out and there are still question marks over whether manager Marco Silva, whose contract expires this summer, will still be in charge for the next campaign.

While it has not been the season Newcastle were hoping for, they are at least ending on a positive note and the prospect of finishing above arch-rivals Sunderland gives them an added incentive.

The Magpies boast an excellent record against Fulham and they have already racked up two victories over the Cottagers this term, in the Carabao Cup and in the league.

Those triumphs mean Newcastle have won eight of the last 10 meetings and it would be no surprise if they were to come out on top again on Sunday.

Although Fulham have been fairly solid at home, the recent momentum is with Newcastle and the visitors can head back to Tyneside with all three points.
