Obafemi Martins and Peter Lovenkrands climbed off the substitutes’ bench to hand Alan Shearer a first victory and Newcastle a Barclays Premier League lifeline with a 3-1 win over Middlesbrough. It moved the Magpies out of the relegation zone and sent Hull into the bottom three. It was Newcastle’s first home win since December 21 and just their second anywhere in 18 attempts.
But the Magpies have won just one of their last four home meetings with Fulham and lost at Craven Cottage in November. Europa League hopefuls Fulham have won on two of their last four visits to St James’ Park - the same amount of games they have won on their travels this season. They have scored just 10 times away from home, with six of those goals coming in two games, while Clint Dempsey is their highest scorer on the road with three. Roy Hodgson’s side have lost one of their last five and beat Newcastle 2–1 in November.
