Fulham vs Newcastle Match Preview: Premier League Clash at Craven Cottage

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 (goal difference 0).

Fulham Availability

Fulham face both suspension and injury issues.

  • J. Andersen (Red Card) is sidelined.
  • J. Kusi Asare (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • R. Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury) is doubtful.

Crucially, leading creator and scorer H. Wilson (10 goals, 6 assists) is available and expected to shoulder much of Fulham’s attacking responsibility from midfield.

Newcastle Availability

Newcastle’s list of absentees is longer and heavily weighted towards key squad members.

  • Joelinton (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
  • E. Krafth (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • 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 (9 goals, 5 assists) is available, a major boost to Newcastle’s midfield control and chance creation.

Impact Summary

Fulham lose depth in defence and attack but retain their primary attacking outlet in H. Wilson. Newcastle, by contrast, are without several starters across defence and midfield, which could reduce their stability and secondary goal threat, even though Bruno Guimarães remains available to drive much of their attacking output.
