Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace preview
Eddie Howe's Newcastle will aim to continue their red-hot form when they host Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, entering the clash on the back of five consecutive victories including a commanding 4-1 demolition of Manchester United.
Harvey Barnes was the star of the show against United, netting twice in a performance that showcased Newcastle's attacking intent as they push for Champions League qualification.
The Magpies will need to overcome significant defensive absences, with Botman, Hall, Lascelles, and Willock all sidelined for this important fixture.
Palace arrive at St. James' Park still reeling from a 5-2 thrashing by Manchester City despite taking an early two-goal lead, exposing vulnerabilities in their backline.
The Eagles will welcome back Eddie Nketiah and Marc Guehi from suspension, but face a daunting task against a Newcastle side that has found its groove at the perfect moment in the season.
History favors the home side, with Palace failing to secure a win in their last three visits to Newcastle – a trend that appears likely to continue given the contrasting trajectories of both teams.
