Fulham play host to Newcastle at Craven Cottage on Sunday with both teams ending what have been underwhelming campaigns to say the least.
A win for either side could take them into the top half of the Premier League table, but this is unlikely to satisfy either set of supporters.
Marco Silva has led the Cottagers to finishes of 10th, 13th and 11th in his three seasons at the club. Is that the ceiling for the Fulham, or can a fresh approach in the dugout spark a change next term?
Eddie Howe will be disappointed with how the 2025/26 has gone. A bottom-half finish in the top-flight is possible, while the Magpies failed to retain the League Cup or reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Newcastle haven't finished lower than seventh since 2022, but that will change on Sunday.

Fulham v Newcastle United Prediction
Best Bet: Both teams to score @ 8/15
Recent meetings between these two teams point towards plenty of action in the two penalty areas. Indeed, both teams have scored in the last four meetings dating back to the start of the 2024/25 campaign.
Both teams have scored in 24 of Newcastle's 37 Premier League games this term, while both sides have found the back of the net in 10 of Fulham's 18 home games throughout the campaign.
The two teams will be determined to end the season on a high, so backing both of them to score seems like the best bet for this clash.
Alternative Bet: Newcastle to win @ 5/4
Although it has been a poor season for the Magpies, Howe's men do enter this clash on the back of some decent form.
Since a loss to Arsenal on April 24th, Newcastle have defeated both Brighton and West Ham, with a draw against Nottingham Forest sandwiched in between.
In comparison, Fulham have won only two league games since the start of March, the last one coming against Aston Villa three weeks ago.
Newcastle won the reverse fixture in October 2-1, before defeating the Cottagers by the same scoreline in the quarter-finals of the League Cup two months later.
Fulham v Newcastle United Bet Builder Tip
Over 2 goals
Nick Woltemade to score anytime
Sasa Lukic to be booked
Pays 12/1
Across the previous nine meetings between these two teams in all competitions, three or more goals has landed six times.
Only eight teams have scored more than Newcastle's 54 league goals this season, while a total of 104 goals have been conceded by the two clubs combined in the top-flight. This game could be a goal-laden affair.
One man Howe will be counting on to get on the scoresheet is Nick Woltemade. The Germany striker will be heading to the World Cup this summer, despite scoring just 11 goals since joining the club last year.
His goal against West Ham last weekend should give him the confidence to find the back of the net once more on Sunday afternoon.
Sasa Lukic has received nine bookings this season in the Premier League, the most for any Fulham player.
The 29-year-old has received a caution in three of his last five league games and has been booked twice against Newcastle in the previous two campaigns.
