Fulham welcome Newcastle United to Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon in one of two 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League, alongside Arsenal’s home game against Hull City.
The match kicks off at 3pm UK time (10am ET) and, like all Saturday 3pm fixtures, falls under the UK blackout and will not be shown live in Britain, according to the Premier League fixture list and Energy Radio. Highlights will be on Match of the Day on Saturday night.
Both sides go into the game needing points before the international break, with the table tight in mid-table and European places still within reach for the winners.
Craven Cottage test
Fulham have been solid at home this season, and Craven Cottage on a Saturday afternoon is a difficult place to visit. Newcastle, for their part, travel to London with a squad packed with attacking talent and will be looking to impose themselves early.
The Magpies’ away form has been the subject of scrutiny this season, and a win in the capital would be a timely statement before the break.
The weekend context
Saturday’s four games open with Leeds against Tottenham at 12:30pm and close with Nottingham Forest against Manchester City at 5:30pm. Sunday brings four more fixtures — Brighton against Brentford, Crystal Palace against Liverpool, Sunderland against Chelsea and Manchester United against Aston Villa — before the league stops for two weeks.
Friday night saw Everton beat Coventry 3-1 to move fifth, a reminder that the race for European places is wide open and that dropped points this weekend could prove costly.
What to watch
Fulham will look to control the tempo at home, while Newcastle’s pace on the break is their biggest weapon. With both teams chasing a top-half finish, this is the kind of game that can set the tone for the rest of the month.
Newcastle’s trip to London comes at a good time for Fulham, who have made Craven Cottage a difficult place to visit this season. The Magpies, meanwhile, will be looking to improve an away record that has been the subject of scrutiny, and a win in the capital would be a timely statement before the break. With both teams chasing a top-half finish, the three points on offer could prove significant when the table is assessed in a fortnight’s time.
