Crystal Palace will host Newcastle United at Selhurst Park in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League clash. While Newcastle aim to recover from a disappointing loss to West Ham, Crystal Palace are desperate for points to lift themselves out of the relegation zone.
The Magpies sit mid-table and have shown flashes of brilliance this season, while Palace, struggling for form, come into the game buoyed by a spirited draw against Aston Villa.
Both teams have key injuries and suspensions to contend with, which will significantly influence their respective lineups. Palace manager Oliver Glasner has work to do to patch up his defence, while Newcastle boss Eddie Howe will look for attacking inspiration in the absence of some regular starters.

Dean Henderson is likely to continue in goal, with a back three of Trevoh Chalobah, Maxence Lacroix, and Marc Guehi offering defensive solidity.
In midfield, the absence of Daichi Kamada through suspension forces changes, so Will Hughes and Cheick Doucoure are expected to pair up in central roles. Tyrick Mitchell and Daniel Munoz could operate as wing-backs, tasked with balancing defensive responsibilities and creating width.
Up front, Jean-Philippe Mateta remains the focal point in attack, flanked by Ismaila Sarr. Palace will hope these forwards can capitalise on Newcastle’s potential defensive vulnerabilities.

Nick Pope will likely be retaining his position between the posts. Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall are expected to occupy the full-back positions, with Fabian Schar and Burn forming the centre-back partnership.
The midfield battle will see Joelinton, Sean Longstaff, and Sandro Tonali tasked with controlling possession and creating chances. This unit provides a mix of physicality and creativity that could trouble Palace’s midfield.
In attack, Alexander Isak will likely lead the line, supported by Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes on the wings. Howe will hope this dynamic trio can exploit Palace’s defensive frailties and rediscover their clinical edge.
