Newcastle United travel to Selhurst Park today looking to end their dismal recent run of form.
The Magpies have moved into the bottom half after losing six of their last nine matches. Manager Eddie Howe oversaw a much-needed three-week break since their last league fixture.
Newcastle beat Palace 2–0 in January and seek a first league double in twelve years. They currently trail the European spots by only six points.
Newcastle United team news
Eddie Howe manages a squad that looks stronger despite several key individual absences today. Bruno Guimarães is definitely ruled out today as he recovers from an illness.
Consequently, Sandro Tonali should start in midfield after featuring during the international break. Notably, Fabian Schär remains unavailable after undergoing a small operation recently. Lewis Miley is back in the squad and has trained well with the group.
Aaron Ramsdale is expected to start in goal for the visitors this afternoon. The defence will be anchored by Dan Burn and Malick Thiaw. In attack, Anthony Gordon starts as he chases a fourth consecutive scoring appearance.
Notably, no English player has scored in more consecutive games for Newcastle since 2021. Newcastle have won two of their last three on the road. They will rely on their set-piece prowess to stun the Eagles today.
Newcastle United predicted lineup
Newcastle United Predicted XI (4-3-3): Ramsdale; Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes; Gordon
