Fulham vs Newcastle United injury news as 8 out and 6 doubts

Fuham may be out of the Carabao Cup but there's more knockout action on the way as Newcastle United visit Craven Cottage.

It's a quick turnaround for Fulham and Marco Silva this week with the Cottagers back in action again on Saturday evening as Newcastle United visit the banks of the Thames in the FA Cup fourth round.

The Portuguese boss is likely to make changes to his starting XI after players put in a big shift against Liverpool on Wednesday night while the Magpies have enjoyed a two-week break from action and will arrive in London refreshed.

Eddie Howe has had his own stresses during that time with key men linked with transfers away and the side he fields at Craven Cottage will no doubt turn heads. Here's the team news from both sides.
