Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Preview: Classic Encounter, Key Battles, Team News & More

Newcastle United will make the trip down to Selhurst Park when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Eagles come into the match in 12th place in the table, and will be looking to build on their 1-0 victory over Huddersfield Town last weekend.

Rafa Benitez's side have made a disappointing start to the season. They currently sit in 19th place in the league, having struggled against several of the Premier League's heavy hitters already.
