Palace Preview: Eagles must be wary of late Newcastle surge

After an impressive victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, Palace head north-east to St James’ Park to take on a Newcastle United side buoyed by their first win in nine league games.

Newcastle’s win at Goodison Park against Everton put an end to a run of five straight league defeats for the Magpies, with Callum Wilson’s brace securing all three points.

However, Palace will arrive in confident mood following their victory against Wolves, with another scorching Eberechi Eze goal lighting up south London.

They will be keen to get revenge for a frustrating defeat in the reverse fixture, when two last minute goals at Selhurst Park gave the visitors the three points.
