Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce: "I only want what's best for the club and over the last few months in particular, I haven't been good enough to get the results that this club demands.

"I understand it totally, the way it is. I will do my utmost to make sure that the club stays in the Premier League. For all the other stuff, I can't influence that.

"But I'll never walk away from it, I'll never walk away from the challenge, that's for sure.

"We had a really good start, we had an awful, awful period over Christmas and January, and over the last eight, 10 games, we've done far, far better.

"We've got 10 games left - can we match what we did at the start of the season by getting something like 17, 18 points? That would be nice if we could, and we know we're capable."

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce makes two changes from his side's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last Friday, with forward Miguel Almiron returning after a two-match absence because of a knee injury.

Javier Manquillo also starts for the visitors, as Emil Krafth and Dwight Gayle drop out.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett, Willock, Shelvey, Hayden, Joelinton, Almiron, Fraser.

Subs: Darlow, Carroll, Ritchie, Gayle, Lewis, Hendrick, Fernandez, Murphy, Longstaff.

That Fulham defeat was a huge boost for both of tonight's teams. Brighton could move six points clear with a game in hand if they win tonight. Newcastle could go five above the bottom three.

Fulham missed the chance to move above Newcastle and out of the Premier League relegation zone with defeat against Leeds United on Friday night.

Patrick Bamford scored one and set up the other for Raphinha in a 2-1 win for Marcelo Bielsa's side, after Joachim Andersen's goal had seen the sides level at the break.

It means Fulham remain two points behind Newcastle and three behind Brighton, having played two games more.

Fulham have opened the door for Brighton or Newcastle to extend the gap at the bottom. Can either side take advantage?
