Crystal Palace vs Newcastle - Premier League preview

Crystal Palace recent form

Crystal Palace have had a difficult season so far. They are currently 19th in the Premier League standings. The Eagles have only managed one win in their first 12 matches.

Last weekend, Palace drew 2-2 against Aston Villa. Goals from Ismaila Sarr and Justin Devenny gave Palace hope. However, a late equaliser by Ross Barkley denied them a crucial victory.

Palace’s home form has been poor this season. They have earned just five points at Selhurst Park, scoring only three goals. Manager Oliver Glasner needs his team to improve if they want to escape the relegation zone.

Newcastle recent form

Newcastle started the season strongly but have struggled recently. They sit 10th in the table with 18 points from 12 matches. The Magpies lost 2-0 at home to West Ham in their last match.

Manager Eddie Howe praised his team’s first-half performance but criticised individual errors for the goals conceded. Newcastle must avoid such mistakes if they want to succeed against Palace.

The team’s away record in London has also been disappointing. Newcastle have lost six of their last eight matches in the capital. They have only one win in their previous nine visits to Selhurst Park.
