Fulham have lost all four of their FA Cup matches against Newcastle United, with those coming between 1908 and 1961. They also conceded at least four goals in every defeat.
There has been an average of six goals per game scored in the previous FA Cup ties between Fulham and Newcastle (24 goals in four games). In the entire history of the FA Cup from the first round onwards, the only fixture that has seen more goals per game (min. 4 matches) is Aston Villa vs Wednesbury Old Athletic (8.8, 35 goals in 4 games in the 1880s).
Fulham reached the FA Cup fifth round last season, eliminating Sunderland in the fourth round. The Cottagers haven’t progressed from the fourth round in consecutive seasons since doing so in three in a row between 2008-09 and 2010-11.
Newcastle United have lost their last seven FA Cup matches against Premier League opposition, all while as a top-flight side themselves. No top-tier team has ever lost eight consecutive FA Cup matches against fellow top-flight sides, with Liverpool (1932-46) and Charlton (1955-2003) also losing seven in a row.
Eddie Howe has never won an FA Cup match against a Premier League opponent in nine previous attempts (D1 L8), with this his first such match as Newcastle boss. The previous nine games were as Burnley manager (L2) and at Bournemouth (D1 L6).
