Creative hub Bruno Guimarães, with 9 goals and 5 assists in the league, remains available to anchor Newcastle’s midfield despite the absences around him.

Impact Summary

Fulham lose depth in defense and attack but retain their primary goal threat in H. Wilson. Newcastle, however, are without multiple starters across defense and midfield, significantly trimming their attacking options and overall balance, even with Bruno Guimarães fit to start.
