Crystal Palace entertain Newcastle United as both teams chase a first Premier League win since the international break.
Victory could lift Palace out of the relegation zone if results elsewhere swing in their favour.
Newcastle can climb to sixth if Nottingham Forest fail to beat Ipswich at home.

Stat Attack
- Palace have won one of their last six league meetings against Newcastle (W1, D3, L2).
- Newcastle have won one of their last nine trips to Palace (W1, D5, L3).
- Palace have kept clean sheets in their last two home games against Newcastle (W1, D1).
- Marc Guehi has made more blocks than any other Palace player this season (13).
- Newcastle have lost each of their two previous trips to London-based clubs this season (L2).
Prediction
Having twice led at Villa, Palace might feel slightly disappointed to draw and slip back into the relegation zone, but they really must try and find a way to cut out their defensive marking lapses if want to win more games.
Newcastle though were pretty lacklustre with little creativity and awful marking of both conceded goals in their loss to West Ham, so a big improvement is needed if want to stay with their rivals in the race for an European spot.
On my instinct this feels like a draw because Palace aren’t exactly consistent defensively and Newcastle can only be better, so am going for a score draw.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle United
Result: Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle United
