Fulham host Newcastle at Craven Cottage for the Premier League season finale. Fulham are expected to part ways with Marco Silva this summer and are seeking a positive result, but recent form has been unstable. After a 1-1 draw away at Wolves, Fulham have recorded only one win in their previous six Premier League matches since the March international break. They have struggled to create scoring chances, with just two goals in six straight outings, including a 1-0 home loss to Bournemouth. Newcastle, despite inconsistencies, returned to winning ways with a dominant 3-1 victory over West Ham at St. James’ Park. Newcastle have seven points from their previous three Premier League matches and are unable to qualify for Europe next season.
"Fulham will be desperate to hand their boss some kind of positive farewell. However, despite opening up 2026 with their sights set on mounting a legitimate European charge, the Cottagers are limping their way over the finishing line and have drastically failed to find any kind of recent stability. Missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity last time out as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at an already-relegated Wolves, the Whites have now registered just a single win from any of their previous six Premier League appearances since returning from March's international break."
"Essentially sat in top-flight limbo for large spells of this calendar year, Fulham have also struggled to find a clinical edge in the final third. Including a toothless 1-0 defeat at home against Bournemouth earlier in the month, Silva's squad have notched just a pair of goals in their six straight outings."
"As for the visitors, while Newcastle might find themselves sat in an almost identical position to Sunday's opponents, Eddie Howe's made an immediate return to winning ways last time out. Putting in a dominant performance at St. James' Park as they clinched a deserved 3-1 victory against West Ham, the former Bournemouth boss will be demanding a repeat display when his squad travels to west London for their season finale this weekend."
"Despite showing their own glaring inconsistencies this year and already accepting that they won't be able to book any kind of European adventure for next season, Sunday's guests have registered seven points from their previous three Premier League appearances. Getting May underway with another stella"
