Crystal Palace hope to stop a short winless run in its tracks when they host baffling Newcastle United at Selhurst Park at 10am ET Saturday.
The Eagles have sandwiched away draws to Wolves and Villa around a 10-man home loss to Fulham, and Oliver Glasner’s men are scoring goals yet sit 19th on the Premier League table.

That’s just a win from 15th place, but Palace had much bigger hopes than the bottom third of the table.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are also off their season goals but the table has been kind to them and Eddie Howe’s men are just a hot streak away from the top-four chase.
The Magpies lost 2-0 to West Ham on Monday, a confounding loss on the heels of three-straight wins in all competitions; Chelsea, Arsenal, and Nottingham Forest are quite a hill to climb and they did it well.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United live updates — By Nick Mendola
What a miss!
Palace are on a lightning counter as Will Hughes cues a 3v2 with a long pass.
Sarr’s cross to the back post is a wonderful invitation to marauding left back Daniel Munoz, but he screws his shot wide of Nick Pope’s goal.
Wow. 0-0, 36'.
Trevoh Chalobah from distance!
The center back tries his luck from well outside the 18, and Nick Pope leaps straight up only to let it fly over the bar.
Pope then makes an incredible splayed stop on Sarr, but he would’ve been covered anyway as the flag was up for offside.
0-0, 30'
Joelinton injury; Isak goes off
Isak cannot last and Harvey Barnes will come into the fray. Anthony Gordon will move into the center forward role.
Joelinton also suffered a shoulder injury but will try to keep going for the Magpies.
0-0, 22'.
Alexander Isak injury; Palace chance
Newcastle’s star man is really struggling after a hip-to-hip collision with Tyrick Mitchell.
Isak is stretching his side following treatment from the trainer, as Callum Wilson and Harvey Barnes appear to be loosening up on the sidelines.
He’ll play through it.
Ismaila Sarr soon sends Eberechi Eze into the box with a delightful pass, but Fabian Schar makes an acrobatic intervention to deny Eze a shot.
Newcastle handle the corner klick.
0-0, 17'.
A little chaotic early
Newcastle began in possession but there are two all-action midfields here, and play has been an intriguing watch.
Sandro Tonali and Jean-Philippe Mateta look bright early.
Newcastle’s Joe Willock and Alexander Isak have both slumped to the turf in the first 11 minutes, only to play on. Something to watch.
Crystal Palace lineup
Henderson, Munoz, Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi, Mitchell, Lerma, Hughes, Eze, Mateta, Sarr
Newcastle United lineup
Pope, Hall, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Tonali, Guimaraes, Willock, Joelinton, Gordon, Isak
Crystal Palace team news, focus
Wharton’s absence is complicated by Kamada’s suspension but let’s be real — all eyes are on any injury to Eberechi Eze. Whether he can go will be massive.
OUT: Adam Wharton (groin), Chadi Riad (knee), Rob Holding (undisclosed), Matheus Franca (groin), Eddie Nketiah (hamstring), Daichi Kamada (suspension) | QUESTIONABLE: Eberechi Eze (thigh).
Newcastle United team news, focus
The Magpies get Dan Burn back from suspension but could be without ever-present midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. That part of the pitch has been Howe’s biggest headache, as he hasn’t found the right mix between Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock, and Joelinton. A Guimaraes injury would likely force Howe to starting Tonali, something wanted by many in the Toon Army.
OUT: Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee), Emil Krafth (shoulder) | QUESTIONABLE: Joe Willock (calf), Bruno Guimaraes (glute)
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United prediction
This can be a very a tight match, but it feels silly to bet against a bounce back performance from the Magpies. It seems like a split would be a fair result. Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle United.
