Newcastle with their new manager are playing a defensive football, their chances are coming from set pieces and free kicks, but they simply are not dangerous from action. Last round Newcastle against Birmingham have ended in a draw 1-1 and they seemes to be back in form a bit, but still there are a lot of work for this team. About Fulham, they are not doing very well on the road, but now is the final of Premier League and their relegation problem will motivate them a lot as for Newcastle too. All in all there will be a close game because of game's importance and there will be too a close game because of both side's style. Newcastle (from): Harper, Forster, Beye, Enrique, Taylor, Faye, Cacapa, Edgar, Butt, N'Zogbia, Duff, Barton, Geremi, Owen, Smith, Martins, Viduka, Carroll.
Fulham (from): Keller, Konchesky, Johnson, Stalteri, Hughes, McBride, Bullard, Davies, Andreasen, Murphy, Hangeland, Batista, Volz, Healy, Bocanegra, Dempsey.
Newcastle are not the team which try to put pressure from the first minute, as I sad they are playing more defensively as they have proved that against Middlesbrough and against Blackburn Rovers.
