Fulham v Newcastle: match preview

Fulham v Newcastle
Fulham v Newcastle: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Scott Parker’s future is no longer in question after the former captain’s was made Fulham’s permanent manager. A disastrous return to the Premier League will finally come to an end on Sunday. Fulham lead the Premier League in goals conceded, a startling problem that will need to be addressed in the summer. A repeat of last season’s 10th-place finish is unattainable for Newcastle, but three points would see them finish with one more than their 2017/18 tally of 44. Fulham have given supporters hope for next season but who will remain for the Championship campaign remains to be seen. Benjy Nurick
