Newcastle United vs Fulham: Premier League preview, team news, stats & head-to-head

Newcastle are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League home games against Fulham (W5 D3) keeping six clean sheets in that run since a 1-0 loss in May 2009.

Fulham won the reverse fixture against Newcastle 3-1 in September – only in 2006-07 and 2008-09 have they completed the Premier League double over the Magpies.

Newcastle United have won seven of their last eight Premier League matches (L1), winning the most points of any side across their last eight games (21), while only Liverpool (25) have scored more goals than the Magpies (22) in this spell.

Fulham have picked up 16 points in 11 away Premier League games this season (W4 D4 L3), only two fewer than they managed last season (18 in 19 games). Their 1.45 points-per-game on the road in 2024-25 is their best tally in a single Premier League season.

Only Manchester City (17) have won more points from losing positions in the Premier League this season than Newcastle (15). The Magpies have won four games after conceding first in 2024-25, their most in one campaign since 2002-03 (4), last doing so more often in 2001-02 (9).

Fulham have given just 2,017 minutes to English players in the Premier League this season, the lowest tally of any side. Opponents Newcastle, meanwhile, have given 12,779 minutes to Englishmen, with only Southampton awarding more (13,398).

Fulham are the only side to have more than one player play every single minute of every game in the Premier League this season (Bernd Leno and Antonee Robinson), while Robinson is one of four outfielders to do so this season, along with Illia Zabarnyi, Nathan Collins and Virgil van Dijk.

Since the start of December, Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has scored more Premier League goals than any other player (13), also outscoring six different teams in that time. Isak is now second in Newcastle’s leading Premier League scorers (48 goals), behind Alan Shearer on 148, while he needs one goal to become the leading Swedish scorer; he is level with Freddie Ljungberg currently.

Fulham’s Alex Iwobi has played the most progressive passes of any player in the Premier League this season (132), while of players to attempt 500+ passes only Mohamed Salah (15.3%) has played a higher percentage of those passes progressively than Iwobi (14.5%).

Jacob Murphy has assisted six of Alexander Isak’s Premier League goals this season, the most assists from one player to another this campaign. It is also the joint most assists by a Newcastle player for a teammate in one season; others on six are Nolberto Solano for Alan Shearer in 1999-00, Laurent Robert for Shearer in 2001-02 and Salomon Rondon for Ayoze Perez in 2018-19.
