Fulham vs Newcastle: Premier League Clash Preview

Match Context

Fulham host Newcastle at Craven Cottage, London, on 24 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 38. Fulham sit 13th on 49 points (goal difference -6), while Newcastle are 11th, also on 49 points but with a neutral goal difference.

Fulham Availability

Key creator H. Wilson, who has 10 goals and 6 assists in league play, is available and will shoulder much of the attacking burden, especially with wide and forward options thinned slightly by J. Kusi Asare’s absence and Sessegnon’s uncertainty.

• V. Livramento (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
• L. Miley (Broken Leg) is sidelined.
• F. Schar (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.
• S. Tonali (Injury) is doubtful.

Creative hub Bruno Guimarães, with 9 goals and 5 assists, is available and remains central to Newcastle’s attacking output despite multiple injuries around him.

Impact Summary

Fulham lose depth and some versatility but retain their primary scorer-creator in H. Wilson. Newcastle, already more prolific overall, suffer a heavier structural hit, particularly in midfield balance and defensive stability, though Bruno Guimarães’ availability preserves much of their attacking threat.
