How Fulham could line up against Newcastle United

How Fulham could line up against Newcastle United

Fulham will look to end a disappointing season on a high when they play host to Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon.

While the Cottagers have already been relegated from the Premier League, Scott Parker will want to ensure that the club finish in 18th position in the standings.

Parker revealed at his press conference on Friday that Antonee Robinson, Tom Cairney and Aleksandar Mitrovic will all miss the match through injury.

With Harrison Reed also a fitness doubt, Mario Lemina is expected to be used in his more familiar role of central midfield.

That would allow Joachim Andersen to return to a back three before he heads back to parent club Lyon in the summer.

Second-choice goalkeeper Marek Rodak could return between the sticks ahead of regaining his place as number one for the upcoming Championship campaign.

Although Fabio Carvalho could keep his spot in the team, Parker may wish to give some game time to Josh Onomah.

Ademola Lookman and Ivan Cavaleiro should retain their places in the final third, leaving Ruben Loftus-Cheek to remain among the replacements.

Fulham possible starting XI: Rodak; Adarabioyo, Andersen, Ream; Aina, Lemina, Anguissa, Bryan; Onomah, Lookman; Cavaleiro
