Crystal Palace v Newcastle United preview: Team news, head to head and stats

Crystal Palace defender Rob Holding's injury woes have continued after he sustained a hamstring problem against West Ham in his first game of 2024.

Adam Wharton has recovered from a clash of knees with Emerson last weekend.

Newcastle United pair Joe Willock and Kieran Trippier will be assessed as they close in on returns following respective calf injuries.

The visitors are still missing a raft of players, meaning Emil Krafth could continue in central defence.
