REF’s picks

Fulham have shown greater defensive stability at Craven Cottage recently and can edge past a Newcastle side struggling for momentum away from home. Marco Silva's team holds the psychological edge from recent head-to-head meetings, though injuries to key personnel could disrupt their rhythm.

1. 1Fulham's solid home organization and recent winning record against Newcastle provide a strong foundation.
2. 2Newcastle arrive with a poor away run and mounting defensive injuries that limit their rotational options.
3. 3Fulham are missing influential players like Joachim Andersen and Ryan Sessegnon, which could expose them to counter-attacks.
