Newcastle United travels to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace, seeking to end a disappointing run of form that has seen them lose six of their last nine matches. Manager Eddie Howe has had a three-week break to prepare the team, which currently sits in the bottom half of the Premier League table, trailing European qualification spots by just six points. The Magpies will be without Bruno Guimarães, who is recovering from an illness, while Sandro Tonali is expected to fill in as a key midfielder. Despite these absences, Newcastle's squad appears stronger, with Aaron Ramsdale starting in goal and Anthony Gordon aiming for his fourth consecutive scoring appearance. The match kicks off at 14:00 BST and will be available for UK viewers on Sky Sports Action. Newcastle hopes to leverage their recent success against Palace, having won the last encounter 2-0, and aims for their first league double over Crystal Palace in twelve years.
