Fulham host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 GMT. The Premier League Matchday 10 fixture brings together two sides heading in different directions. Fulham have taken seven points from their last three league games to climb to 15th, while Newcastle sit 13th after collecting just three points from their last four Premier League matches. With only two points between them in the standings, recent form and Fulham’s record in this fixture give the home side reason for encouragement.

Fulham’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Fulham had to wait until Matchday 7 for their first Premier League victory of the season, a 1-0 win over Hull City. They followed it with another league success against Coventry before drawing 1-1 away to Aston Villa on October 31. That three-game unbeaten run has lifted the Cottagers out of the relegation zone, though their nine-point total leaves them only two points clear of it.

The draw against Aston Villa offered further evidence of Fulham’s improvement. After exiting the Carabao Cup against Crystal Palace, they created four big chances at Villa Park and recorded 1.87 expected goals on target before securing a point. Across their last five matches, Fulham have two wins, one draw and two defeats, averaging 0.8 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game. Their broader Premier League record stands at two wins, three draws and four losses, with averages of 1.0 goal scored and 1.2 conceded.

Fulham have scored in all four of their Premier League home matches this season, finding the net once or twice in each. Their recent league games have generally been tight: five of the last six have finished with fewer than three goals. At the other end of the pitch, Ryan Sessegnon is set to return after a three-match suspension. David Affengruber also gave Fulham a notable defensive contribution against Aston Villa, making 11 clearances and winning every tackle he attempted.

Newcastle United’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Newcastle United began their Premier League campaign with three matches unbeaten, but their results have since become less consistent. A 1-0 home defeat to Everton on November 2 was their third loss in four league outings. It followed a 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat to the same opponents, leaving Newcastle with four losses in their last five matches across all competitions.

The visitors’ last five matches have produced one win and four defeats, with averages of 0.8 goals scored and 1.8 conceded. In the Premier League as a whole, Newcastle have three wins, two draws and four losses. Their season averages of 1.3 goals scored and 1.7 conceded suggest a greater attacking return than their recent run has delivered, but they will need to improve on that latest sequence to take points from Craven Cottage.

Away results add to the challenge. Newcastle have lost three of their last four matches on the road across all competitions, while conceding an average of 2.8 goals per game over those four away fixtures. They have also lost on their last two visits to Fulham. One pattern worth watching later in the match is that at least one second-half goal has been scored in 19 of Newcastle’s last 21 games, although that statistic refers to total match goals rather than Newcastle’s scoring alone.

Fulham vs Newcastle United Match Analysis

The contrast in momentum is the central feature of this Premier League preview. Fulham have recovered from a difficult start with successive wins and a draw, while Newcastle arrive after another defeat and a run of disappointing away results. Fulham have also won three of the last four Premier League meetings between the clubs. Across the five head-to-head matches covered by the supplied summary, Fulham have three wins and two defeats, averaging 1.8 goals scored and 1.2 conceded.

There are reasons to expect a competitive contest rather than an easy home win. Newcastle are two points ahead in the league standings, and Fulham have scored an average of only 0.8 goals across their last five matches. Both sides have also been involved in low-scoring league fixtures recently: five of Fulham’s last six and Newcastle’s last three Premier League games have each ended with no more than two goals. Those figures sit alongside Newcastle’s more vulnerable recent away record and Fulham’s consistency in scoring at home.

For Fulham, the opportunity is to extend a three-match league unbeaten run and strengthen their position after a slow opening to the season. Newcastle’s task is to reverse a sequence of three defeats in four Premier League games, particularly against a side that has beaten them on their previous two trips to Craven Cottage. On the available recent-form and head-to-head evidence, the home side have the more persuasive case, even if their narrow scoring margins suggest the match could remain close.
