Fulham prepare to entertain Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Cottagers are clearly on top, winning 52.00% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in May 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Premiership match.
