Two clubs badly in need of a lift meet at Selhurst Park on Sunday, as Crystal Palace vs Newcastle puts two messy Premier League starts under the spotlight.
Palace are struggling under new boss Pierre Sage, and the home fans will demand a reaction after a humiliating 5-0 defeat to bitter rivals Brighton last weekend.
Newcastle are in no better shape. Defeat to Aston Villa made it three losses in four under head coach Matthias Jaissle, leaving them hovering just above the relegation zone.
Selhurst Park has been kind to Palace in this fixture, with the Eagles unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 home meetings with Newcastle in all competitions. Something has to give.
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Form
Palace matches have been chaotic at both ends, with over 2.5 goals showing up in 11 of their last 13 Premier League games. Europe has offered little more control. Jean-Philippe Mateta and Yéremy Pino both struck in the Europa League, but Palace were held 2-2 away at Besiktas. Pino carries much of the creative burden.
Newcastle have won just 3 of their last 10 matches against all opponents. The August win over Tottenham feels a long time ago after heavy away defeats at Leeds and Coventry, both by a 4-1 scoreline. Harvey Barnes remains their most persistent threat, never shy of pulling the trigger from the left.

Crystal Palace
The home side of the Crystal Palace vs Newcastle lineups gets a boost with Axel Disasi returning after serving a three-match ban. Quinten Timber is likely to miss out with a hamstring injury, and Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf) has been ruled out until after the international break. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson is back in training and could return, though Benítez is in the probable XI.
Newcastle
Tino Livramento, Jacob Ramsey, Ewen Jaouen and Anthony Elanga remain sidelined. Elanga's absence stings given his recent scoring form in the Premier League. Amar Dedic, Jacob Murphy and William Osula are pushing for starting spots, while Dan Burn could make his first start of the season after brief outings off the bench against Coventry and Aston Villa.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Talking Points
The big question behind our Crystal Palace vs Newcastle prediction is whether Sage's more aggressive set-up can stop the leaks, with Palace conceding 17 goals in seven league games, the worst defensive record in the division. Newcastle are hardly a finished article either, adapting to Jaissle's high-pressing system after heavy summer squad turnover. The previous meetings record stands at two Palace wins, one draw and three Newcastle wins, and the visitors' edge on the break is why we side with them.
