England Premier League
Sunday 12th May 2019
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Craven Cottage
Match Preview:
Fulham lost 1-0 to Wolves which ended their 3 game winning streak and they will wrap up their season playing in the Premier League with a home match against Newcastle.
The Cottagers are of course relegated already and they can’t finish in 18th and so have little to play for other than to give the home fans a winning final game. They have by all accounts bee superb since relegation was confirmed and at home they have won their last two games. This commitment should be enough to land current manager Scott Parker with the job and the task of leading Fulham back into the Premier League from The Championship next season.
Newcastle gave a great display against Liverpool last weekend but just came up short as they were defeated 3-2 at home. The Magpies are 16 points ahead of Fulham and could finish in 13th with a win and if Bouremouth lose.
Newcastle have won 7 points from their last 12 and away from home they have lost just once from their last 4. Overall their away record has been poor though and they have won just 3 games all season on the road.
Team News:
Fulham: While the club do have 4 players out of this game, they have been long term and there are no new injuries for Scott Parker’s team coming into this final home game of the season
Newcastle: DeAndre Yedlin has opted to have an operation on his groin which has ruled him out of the season. Other than Yedlin there are no new injuries for The Magpies ahead of this game
