Newcastle United vs Fulham
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: St James' Park
Date: Saturday, 22 December, 2018
Kick-off time: 3pm
Fulham are looking to move off the foot of the Premier League table when they travel to Newcastle on Saturday.
A dismal performance at home to West Ham last weekend left the club still winless under Claudio Ranieri.
Newcastle won just their fourth game of the season away at Huddersfield last time out to move them away from the relegation zone. Fulham realistically need a victory to avoid being sat bottom of the league on Christmas Day.
