Analysis of the match between Newcastle and Fulham
Newcastle head into this match following a 0-1 defeat to Sunderland in the Premier League, a result that dropped the Magpies to 12th place, four points behind fifth-placed Crystal Palace. Losing to their local rivals marked a significant setback, highlighting Eddie Howe’s side struggles to maintain consistency in the early stages of the 2025/26 season.
Despite that, Newcastle remain highly motivated in cup competitions. As the reigning EFL Cup holders after defeating Liverpool in the 2024/25 final — their first trophy since the 1954/55 FA Cup — the club are determined to defend their crown, as shown by convincing wins over Bradford City (4-1) and Tottenham (2-0).
