Newcastle vs Crystal Palace prediction

Newcastle bounced back from their defeat to Man Utd with a 1-3 victory at struggling Burnley, with Joelinton, Yoane Wissa and Bruno Guimaraes on target for the Magpies.

Eddie Howe's side now return to St. James' Park, where they are unbeaten in their last ten games in all competitions. They will fancy their chances of extending that record given that visitors Crystal Palace are without a win in their last six games across all competitions.

The Seagulls have struggled a little with the congested schedule, and you have to think they will be outrun by the hosts, who simply have more options when it comes to personnel.
