History of the Fulham v Newcastle United fixture

Newcastle Utd. face a trip to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Magpies will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2007, with Newcastle Utd. inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Cottagers in a Premier League match.
