CALLUM WILSON returns to Newcastle United's starting line-up for this afternoon's Premier League game at Fulham.

Bruno Guimaraes also makes the starting line-up at Craven Cottage, but there is no place in the side for either Matt Targett or Joelinton.

Targett's place at left-back is taken by Dan Burn, with Sven Botman returning to the starting side and set to partner Fabian Schar at centre-half.

Joelinton has not been able to train fully during the international break because of a knock, and his place at the heart of midfield is taken by Sean Longstaff.

Longstaff's presence should mean Guimaraes is able to play in a more attacking position than he has been filling so far this season.

Wilson is back in the side for the first time since damaging his hamstrings in the 3-3 draw with Manchester City, and will be flanked by Miguel Almiron and Jacob Murphy, with the latter getting the nod over Ryan Fraser.

Chris Wood is on the substitutes' bench after recovering from a rib injury sustained while on international duty with New Zealand, but Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak are injury absentees and are not in the squad.


FULHAM (4-5-1): Leno; Mbabu, Adarabioyo, Ream, Kurzawa; James, Reed, Pereira, Chalobah, Decordova-Reid; Mitrovic.

Subs: Rodak (gk), Diop, Parkes, Duffy, Kebano, Cairney, Harris, Onomah, Vinicius.

NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Willock, Longstaff, Guimaraes; Almiron, Wilson, Murphy.

Subs: Karius, Dummett, Lascelles, Joelinton, Lewis, Targett, Wood, Fraser, Anderson.
