FIVE times Newcastle beat Crystal Palace
Newcastle United take on Crystal Palace away from home on Saturday, and will look to recover from their loss against Leicester City.
The Magpies were far from their best against the Foxes, and a dressing down from head coach Steve McLaren should provide them with the motivation to beat former manager Alan Pardew’s team.
Palace are fresh off the back of their own defeat – a 1-0 smash and grab loss against fellow north-east strugglers Sunderland.
