EDDIE HOWE has named an unchanged side for Newcastle United's home game with Fulham.

Howe has once again opted to keep Sven Botman on the bench as the Magpies line up against Marco Silva's side at St James' Park.

That means Fabian Schar continuing to partner Dan Burn at the heart of Newcastle's back four, with Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall continuing in the full-back berths.

Martin Dubravka continues in goal, with Nick Pope once again named amongst the substitutes after returning to the squad against Southampton.

With Miguel Almiron having joined Atlanta United this week, Jacob Murphy continues on the right-hand side, with Anthony Gordon once again on the left of central striker Alexander Isak.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has made one change to his starting side, with Adama Traore replacing the injured Harry Wilson.

NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Dubravka; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

Subs: Pope, Trippier, Botman, Krafth, Osula, Kelly, Willock, Longstaff, Miley.

FULHAM (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Bassey, Andersen, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Traore, Iwobi, Smith Rowe; Jimenez.

Subs: Benda, Reed, Muniz, Cairney, Pereira, King, Sessegnon, Diop, Godo.
