Newcastle United v Fulham

Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce says he is still without up to five players because of coronavirus.

Jonjo Shelvey, Miguel Almiron and Emil Krath are all pushing for recalls after being among the substitutes at Leeds.

Fulham boss Scott Parker has suggested he may rotate his squad given the busy festive fixture programme.

Bobby Decordova-Reid has a minor thigh muscle injury and could miss out, with ex-Newcastle forward Aleksandar Mitrovic an option to replace him.

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

Fulham have picked up a couple of decent draws in the past few days, against Liverpool and then Brighton, but they were hanging on in both games.
