Matthias Jaissle needs to go into the international break on the back of a morale-boosting win…

Chronicle Live writers have proposed their predicted Newcastle United starting lineups to face Fulham, debating tactical tweaks and changes including Sean Steur and Malick Thiaw. Manager Jaissle must cope with the absence of injured Joelinton and suspended Jacob Ramsey, while Lewis Miley and Mathias Fernandez-Pardo could make their returns to the matchday squad.
Suggestions across the panel include handing Sean Steur a starting role in midfield and deploying Malick Thiaw either in central defense or in a hybrid role pushing into midfield. The proposed formations range from 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 setups to a five-at-the-back system designed to address recent goalscoring struggles.
