Fulham host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage in the final round of the Premier League season, with both sides still chasing a top-10 finish.

Fulham rely on strong home form

Marco Silva’s men have won just one of their last six league matches and currently sit 13th with 49 points. Victory is essential if they want to finish in the top half.

Fulham have been solid at home this season, failing to score in only three of their 18 Premier League home games. However, defensive inconsistencies remain a concern heading into the final day.

Joachim Andersen is suspended, while Ryan Sessegnon could return from injury.

Newcastle improving at the right time

Eddie Howe’s side have picked up form late in the campaign, collecting seven points from their last three matches to climb into 11th place.

Newcastle defeated West Ham 3-1 last weekend, with Will Osula continuing his impressive run in front of goal. The striker has scored five goals in his last six league appearances.

Despite their attacking improvement, Newcastle have conceded in each of their last eight matches. Joelinton, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar remain unavailable through injury.
