Fulham vs Newcastle United LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Craven Cottage
Date: Sunday, 12 May, 2019
Kick-off time: 3pm BST, today
Referee: Kevin Friend
The final game of relegated Fulham's disappointing and wholly brief Premier League return against Newcastle will also be the first in full-time charge for Scott Parker.
After bouncing back from a dismal run of five straight defeats that confirmed the Whites' Championship status for next term by winning three out of the next four matches, the former caretaker boss was appointed on a permanent two-year contract on Friday.
Ex-first-team coach Parker will look to plot an instant return to the top-flight for Fulham, but first they will look to end a wretched season on a high against Newcastle.
The 14th-placed Magpies - long since safe from the drop - can surpass their points tally from last season with victory at Craven Cottage, though are only able to finish as high as 13th.
