Gordon, Willock and Hall all start – Confirmed Newcastle team vs Fulham

The team sheets are in ahead of today’s 3pm kick off at Craven Cottage, where Eddie Howe’s Mags take on Marco Silva’s Fulham.

Here’s the side we’ve gone with, featuring a few changes from Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Everton:

NUFC XI: Dubravka – Krafth, Schar, Burn (c), Hall – Longstaff, Bruno, Willock – Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

SUBS: Karius, Gillespie, Dummett, A Murphy, White, Anderson, Ritchie, Diallo, Barnes.

Anthony Gordon returns to the side after his one-game ban and Joe Willock is also recalled after he was benched in midweek. This means Harvey Barnes and Elliot Anderson drop to the bench. Perhaps the pair weren’t in a position to start twice in the space of a few days after recently returning from injuries?

Elsewhere, Jacob Murphy keeps his place down the right, with Emil Krafth at right-back, Dan Burn captaining the side from centre-back and Lewis Hall passed fit to continue at left-back after coming off with fatigue on Tuesday.

As expected,  Trippier, Botman, Lascelles, Joelinton, Wilson, Targett, Livramento, Pope, Almiron and Miley all miss out.

Fulham XI: Leno – Castagne, Tosin, Bassey, Robinson – Palhinha, Cairney – Iwobi, Andreas, Willian – Muniz.

Howay the lads!
