There are five fixtures to be played in the English Premier League on the 16th of December, including the meeting between Newcastle United and Fulham.

The game will be played at St James’ Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 7th place on 26 points while the visitors are in 10th place on 21 points.

Newcastle United come into the match on the back of a disappointing 2-1 home defeat at the hands of AC Milan.

It was the Magpies who took the lead with a goal in the 33rd minute and they led 1-0 at half time.

Into the second half and AC Milan equalised in the 59th minute and caught Newcastle United on the counterattack to score the winner 6 minutes from time. The defeat means Newcastle United are out of Europe completely this season.

The loss to AC Milan was the third successive defeat in all competitions for Newcastle United.

They have lost each of their 2 most recent Premier League fixtures, going down 3-0 at Everton and 4-1 at Tottenham Hotspur.

Trends show Newcastle United have won 2 of their last 4 Premier League games and they have won each of their last 6 home Premier League matches.

In their last 35 home games in all competitions, Newcastle United have recorded 30 undefeated encounters and they are undefeated in 25 of their 28 most recent Premier League matches on home soil.

Fulham make the trip north having recorded an excellent 5-0 home win over West Ham United last weekend in the Premier League.

Fulham opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and did not have to wait long for their second and third goals, giving them a 3-0 lead at the interval.

Into the second half and Fulham added a fourth goal on the hour mark and completed the scoring in the 89th minute.

The victory over West Ham United means Fulham have won 3 of their last 4 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Premier League.

There was a 3-2 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and a superb 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest, also at home. The only defeat came away to Liverpool, a game that ended 4-3.

Trends show there have been over 2.5 goals in 5 of the latest Premier League matches of Fulham and they have scored 3 or more goals in their last 4 league fixtures.

However, Fulham are in an unfortunate period, having won just 1 of their last 9 away games in the Premier League.

Team news: Newcastle United are without the suspended duo of Kieran Trippier and Sandro Tonali. Nick Pope, Jacob Murphy, Elliot Anderson, and Harvey Barnes are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Joe Willock, Matt Targett, and Sven Botman.

Fulham are without injured defender Issa Diop and have doubts over the fitness of Adama Traore, Tyrese Francois, and Rodrigo Muniz.

Fulham have been scoring plenty of goals in the Premier League recently and we expect them to score again in this match.

However, their away record is poor and Newcastle United, even with their injury problems, should have enough at home to claim maximum points.
