Fulham at Newcastle

Fulham is up north at Newcastle on Saturday. Kickoff is at 10am EDT and is back to being on USA Network :[

My first thought is that Fulham has about as much chance winning this one as they did last week against Arsenal. However, Newcastle are right above Fulham in the table and only a point ahead. Their only wins have come against two teams in the relegation zone - Wolverhampton and Forest. Still, they seem to be improving and have figured out how to score with Woltemade while Isak is still trying to find the net at Liverpool. I don't like Fulham's chances, but as usual, they should at least be competitive like we saw last week.

Newcastle played mid-week and will continue to be without Livramento, Hall, and Wissa. Tonali has an illness and is day-to-day. Fulham will be without Andersen, Robinson, and Muniz, while Wilson is probably out and Lukic is in question. Hopefully that means we'll see Chukwueze again after his absence last week. [EDIT: While not listed in the team update, Chukwueze is still out according to the BBC, so nevermind] Could we also see a return to the starting lineup for Tete? Even if Lukic is healthy, I'd really like to see Silva try Iwobi in the midfield along with King and Berge as many other Fulham fans have been asking for. Fulham needs more creativity there and they've got the wingers now to give this a go.
