Newcastle United vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Champions League-chasing Newcastle host an in-form Fulham in the Premier League
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Fulham in the Premier League today.
The Magpies are flying high under Eddie Howe, fourth in the table and unbeaten since the end of August in this competition - though they did lose to Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup recently. Goalless draws with Leeds and Arsenal recently leave them slightly adrift of the Manchester clubs above them, but a top-four finish this term would represent huge progress.
Fulham, meanwhile, are into the top six after four wins on the spin, including a derby win over Chelsea last time out. Aleksandar Mitrovic returns from suspension today to face his former club.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Isak's late goal has secured a massive home win for Newcastle against Fulham after an action-packed second half. The first half saw half-chances for Longstaff and Wilson but the game sprung into life in the second period. Schar hit the post from a free-kick before Fulham were awarded a penalty after Trippier's foul on De Cordova-Reid. Mitrovic would score the penalty but it was disallowed after the Serbian striker slipped on contact and hit the ball twice. His misfortune was Newcastle's delight and was compounded late on when substitute Isak nodded home a cross from Wilson to win all three points for the home side.
