The Magpies to face the Cottagers next.
Newcastle United are set to clash with Fulham in their upcoming home Premier League match on February 1. Newcastle are aiming to seal their place in the Champions League and a win can help them move in the right direction. Fulham have been on a decent run but are seemingly in for a decline of form.
Newcastle United come after an easy win over Southampton in their last English Premier League game. Alexander Isak came up with a brace to help his side seal an easy win over their rivals. If the Magpies emerge victorious in their upcoming league game, then they will go on to sit in the third spot in the table.
Fulham met with a defeat in their last league game which was against Manchester United. The Cottagers are in the 10th spot in the Premier League table. They are not in their best shape but are in decent form and can come up with a decent fight against Newcastle. This is going to be a tough contest for Fulham and they might drop some points here.

Players to Watch
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
Alexander Isak has been a real asset to Newcastle United. The Swedish forward has scored a total of 17 goals in 21 Premier League matches for the Magpies. Isak can be a key player for Newcastle as he can turn the game around for his side when needed. He can cause real problems for opponents’ defence. The fans will be eager to see Alexander Isak play at home.
Raul Jimenez (Fulham)
The Mexican forward can play an important part in Fulham’s attack. Raul Jimenez has scored eight goals in 23 league games for the Cottagers. He has also assisted his teammates a couple of times.
Raul Jimenez will surely be very useful for Fulham. In the away game, the Mexican forward will be looking to shine.
