St. James' Park - Newcastle upon Tyne
Fulham have won three of their last five Premier League games when behind at half time (D1 L1), more victories than in their previous 88 such matches in the competition (W2 D10 L76).
Fulham have won home and away against Newcastle in a Premier League season for the third time (also in 2006-07 and 2008-09), against no other side in the competition have they won both games in single campaign more often (also 3 against Bolton and Leicester).
Newcastle have lost consecutive Premier League home games for the first time in over a year (since Jan 2024), as many defeats as in their previous 18 matches at St James’ Park (W10 D6 L2).
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).
