Fulham welcome Newcastle United to Motspur Park for their Premier League 2 game this afternoon as Pater Grant's side look to continue their fine run of form in the competition.

The U23s have won their last four Premier League 2 games on the bounce, with their last game coming in the shape of a thrilling 4-3 victory over Southampton on Monday.

Newcastle, meanwhile, sit in 9th place in the division and have lost their last four games, with their latest defeat coming in a 1-0 home loss to Wolves.

The last matchday against Southmapton saw Peter Grant's side field three members of the Fulham first team, in Jordan Graham, Marcelo Djalo and Rafa Soares and today's team could give an indication of who may feature in the Championship clash against Millwall tomorrow.

Kick off is at 2pm and we'll have live updates throughout the game.
