Fulham in search of home win in Newcastle clash.

As Fulham seek redemption after a heartbreaking EFL Cup exit, they brace for a formidable Premier League clash against an invigorated Newcastle United at Craven Cottage, where the Magpies aim to extend their impressive start to the season.

Fulham

Fulham will be eager to move past their recent exit from the EFL Cup as they turn their attention back to the Premier League. The Cottagers were edged out in a penalty shootout against Preston following a 1-1 draw.

Adding to their recent woes is last weekend's draw with West Ham, where a stoppage-time goal from substitute Danny Ings snatched away what seemed like a sure victory. Fulham remains in 12th place after the match with the Hammers, and now face another challenge at home against Newcastle.

Fulham has been unable to secure a win at home since August, when they defeated Leicester City 2-1. They face a daunting task against Newcastle, having suffered a five-game losing streak in the Premier League against them, and an eight-game winless run overall.

Raúl Jiménez, who scored in his first start of the season against West Ham, is expected to remain in the attack. Adama Traore is also likely to join forces with Iwobi and Emile Smith Rowe in the offensive line, while Carlos Vinícius is the team's only injury concern.

Newcastle United

Newcastle earned a comeback 2-1 win over Wolves last time out, thanks to a stunning goal from Harvey Barnes in the 86th minute. The win not only gave Newcastle back-to-back victories, but also extended their unbeaten run to four Premier League games.

The Magpies are currently 3rd in the table with 10 points, one of only two teams to have reached that tally. However, a better goal difference keeps Arsenal in 2nd place ahead of Newcastle. This marks Newcastle's best start to a Premier League season since 1995/96, when they won their opening four games under Kevin Keegan.

Having won their last four away games against Fulham, Newcastle aim to achieve five consecutive wins at Craven Cottage. Additionally, manager Eddie Howe hopes to maintain Newcastle's unbeaten streak to match a five-game unbeaten start last seen in the 2011-12 season under Alan Pardew, which included two wins and three draws.

A 4-3-3 formation may feature Anthony Gordon, Jacob Murphy, and Isak in attack. However, Isak, who suffered an eye injury against Wolves and complained of blurred vision, is doubtful and may undergo a late assessment.
