Follow live coverage as Fulham face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
Fulham manager Marco Silva made four changes to his Fulham side from their comeback victory at Nottingham Forest just before the international break.
Antonee Robinson and Kenny Tete were not in the squad through injury, with Lavyin Kurzawa and Kevin Mbabu taking their place in defence. Dan James and Nathaniel Chalobah were brought in instead of Willian and the suspended Joao Palhinha.
Newcastle also made four changes, with Joelinton, Matt Targett, Ryan Fraser and Alexander Isak missing out. Callum Wilson was included after his recovery from injury, along with Sven Botman, Jacob Murphy and Sean Longstaff.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Fulham vs Newcastle United
Howe will be pleased with his side's control of the first half, though they were helped by the early red card. They still look like they have more goals in them though. Fulham also haven't been helped by a number of injuries already, so Silva will be looking at damage limitation in the second half.
Fulham vs Newcastle United
Newcastle are cruising at half-time, with a 3-0 lead over 10-man Fulham. The hosts were a man down just eight minutes into the game after VAR upgraded Chalobah's yellow to a red for a poor challenge on Willock. Three minutes later, Newcastle were ahead, with Wilson helping Willock's header over the line from close range. Almiron then volleyed a wonderful goal over Leno, before Longstaff made it 3-0 just before half-time.

Fulham are also going to use this window to make another change. Mbabu is also taken off, with Cairney on to replace him.
