A place in the last four of the 2025-26 Carabao Cup beckons as defending champions Newcastle United welcome Fulham to St James’ Park. This quarter-final match on Wednesday between the two Premier League sides, the Magpies and the visiting Cottagers, comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
Newcastle won the title last year by defeating Liverpool for their first Carabao Cup and will hope to push for another title. Fulham are looking for a second Carabao Cup semi-final appearance in three seasons, as they look to further their hopes of lifting this trophy for the first time ever.
There will be extra motivation for the hosts, as they endured a derby defeat to Sunderland last weekend. Eddie Howe's team, possessing a formidable record at this venue, is determined to advance further in the competition. Fulham are a tricky opponent on their day, and that makes them a dangerous side to play. Will the visitors turn the tables and halt Newcastle’s impressive home record?

Newcastle - Fulham: Form Analysis
Newcastle had a demoralising 1-0 defeat at derby rivals Sunderland over the weekend, which wasn’t acceptable to fans. That made it just two wins for the Magpies across their last six competitive games (D2, L2), underlining their middling form.
Things are completely different at this venue, where Newcastle have been great in recent weeks. They are unbeaten here in eight competitive games (W7, D1), with only Tottenham able to pick up points from them.
Newcastle scored exactly two goals in seven of their last eight home games.
Fulham defeated Burnley 3-2 away from home at the weekend, continuing their trend of decisive results. They haven’t had a draw in any competition since starting the season with consecutive draws in the Premier League.
The Cottagers have had an interesting change of form on the road, as they won three of their last four competitive trips. This was preceded by a run of four consecutive losses, so Fulham can be a competitive side on this trip.

Newcastle & Fulham Squad Analysis
Dan Burn had a rib injury against Sunderland at the weekend and was taken to the hospital. He could be out of this fixture and will join the likes of Kieran Trippier and William Osula. On a good note, Nick Pope could be available for the Magpies, having missed the last five matches.
The hosts have traditionally used a 4-3-3 formation in their games, and that could continue here. Keep an eye out for potential changes as Howe may opt to rotate a few of his players. This could see Harvey Barnes start on the left side of the front three, while Yoane Wissa may get a rare start to lead the line.
Barnes has seven goals this season for Newcastle.
Fulham will be missing at least three regulars, as Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze left the squad to represent Nigeria at the AFCON competition. There are no other concerns within the squad.
The visitors have usually lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which means Raul Jimenez is likely to start up front. Harry Wilson and Josh King are set to slot right behind him, which could work to Fulham’s benefit. Wilson has seven goals and four assists in his last eight matches for club and country.

Our Newcastle vs Fulham Prediction
Newcastle fell to a demoralising defeat to derby rivals Sunderland over the weekend, which was described as ‘embarrassing’. The fans will expect a reaction, and the Magpies’ home record could play to their advantage. An eight-game unbeaten streak at this venue is their strength, but Fulham are likely to push them hard. The Cottagers have won three of their last four trips and will fancy their chances of taking the game deeper.
This game is likely to produce goals, which was the case in recent games between these sides. Our Newcastle vs Fulham prediction is BTTS.
Newcastle vs Fulham - Other Interesting Predictions
Harvey Barnes to score anytime
Harvey Barnes hasn’t been able to nail his starting position in the Newcastle line-up, but he can be a game changer for the Magpies. He has seven goals and two assists to his name for the hosts in all competitions this season. If he gets to start, it could be a positive omen, as Barnes either scored or assisted in four of his seven recent starts.
