Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United team news

Palace are in action on Thursday against Fiorentina in the Conference League, so it will be interesting to see what kind of team they name on Sunday.

Heading into Thursday’s game, however, the London club have a largely fit squad other than striker Eddie Nketiah.

Newcastle, meanwhile, could welcome back three key players. BBC Sport suggest Bruno Guimaraes is close to a return, while Lewis Miley and Fabian Schar could be back in action on Sunday.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United prediction

Sadly, it’s hard to see Newcastle picking up a win here. They were listless against Sunderland and thrashed against Barcelona only a few days before. 

They’ve won only four away games all season, so it’s very hard to back them on the road.

Palace are hardly in great form themselves, so a draw seems likely.

Score prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle United

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United confirmed referee

The Premier League have confirmed that Andy Madley will oversee the game. Craig Pawson is on VAR duty.
