Newcastle cannot afford to dwell on Sunday's painfu l Tyne-Wear derby defeat as they resume their Carabao Cup defence with a quarter-final clash against Fulham . The Magpies’ miserable record against Sunderland continued as Nick Woltemade’s own goal sealed a seventh Black Cats win in 10 Premier League meetings since Newcastle last beat their arch-rivals.
The Stadium of Light loss was the latest setback in what has been a frustratingly inconsistent season for Eddie Howe’s team, who have not strung together back-to-back wins since October. Fulham have also had an up-and-down campaign, but have rarely been overrun, and their last five games - three wins and two defeats - have all been settled by a one-goal margin.
Their last trip to St James’ Park resulted in a last-gasp 2-1 defeat in October, and we think it could be another close encounter this week, so the home team to win on penalties @ 5/1 is our initial Newcastle vs Fulham prediction.

Form Guides
Newcastle Form Guide
Newcastle’s form will be a concern to supporters, especially with a heavy summer outlay on the likes of Woltemade , Anthony Elanga , Jacob Ramsay and Yoane Wissa reaping mixed returns. It is not all doom and gloom, with Newcastle 12th in both the Premier League and Champions League and not far off the teams above them, but a Carabao Cup quarter-final exit would be a crushing blow.
The Magpies ended a 70-year wait to lift a domestic trophy when they beat Liverpool in March’s final, and meekly surrendering their Carabao Cup crown on Wednesday would not go down well.
Woltemade will be desperate to make up for his derby gaffe and is 4/1 to open the scoring in the Newcastle vs Fulham odds, with BOYLE Sports’ Sub Swap offer meaning that same bet will transfer to his replacement - possibly one of Wissa , Harvey Barnes or Elanga - if the giant German is substituted.
Fulham Form Guide
Marco Silva’s men have eased relegation concerns with wins over Wolves , Sunderland , Spurs and Burnley in their last seven games, and their trip to the north-east should hold few fears.
Of their last seven visits to St James ’, the Cottagers have returned with two wins and two draws, while Newcastle needed a 90th-minute Bruno Guimaraes goal to take the points earlier this season. Fulham reached the Carabao Cup semi-finals in 2024, losing to Liverpool 3-2 on aggregate, and they certainly have the capability to eliminate the holders this week.
Newcastle’s nerves will be tested to the full, and a draw with both teams scoring after 90 minutes at 15/4 completes our Newcastle vs Fulham betting tips.
