Comments:

League position: 12th Newcastle United became the first team to play the three newly-promoted teams in three consecutive games in the Premier League since Manchester United in September 2014. The Magpies remained without a clean sheet in their last 11 home games in the Premier League. Callum Wilson had now scored eight goals in his 12 appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 17th Fulham had now lost one of their last five games in the Premier League (won one). The Whites had now drawn three consecutive league games for the first time since September 2019 in the League Championship. They had now won four of their last 26 games in the Premier League played in December. Ivan Cavaleiro was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Bobby Decordova-Reid was promoted to the starting XI. Joachim Andersen was sent-off after 62 minutes. However, the subsequent claim for wrongful dismissal was upheld and the red card withdrawn.
