Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League fixture between Crystal Palace and Newcastle.
Having faced Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester United in their last three Premier League games, Crystal Palace’s tough run continues as they host Champions League contenders Newcastle. Patrick Vieira’s side will be desperate for three points today, having won just one competitive fixture since the World Cup break. Michael Olise’s stunning free-kick earned them a point in their last match, helping them snap their three-game losing streak.
Crystal Palace (4-2-3-1): Vicente Guaita; Joel Ward, Chris Richards, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell; Cheick Doucoure, Jeffrey Schlupp; Jordan Ayew, Eberechi Eze, Wilfried Zaha; Odsonne Edouard.
SUBS: Sam Johnstone, Luka Milivojevic, Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Nathaniel Clyne, Will Hughes, Jairo Riedewald, Jack Wells-Morrison, David Ozoh.
Newcastle (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock; Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, Joelinton.
Newcastle’s incredible run in the league continues and a win today could take them one point behind second-place Manchester City. Although their goals have somewhat dried up of late, they will provide a big test for Palace’s attack. Eddie Howe’s team have the best defensive record in the Premier League this season, having conceded just 11 goals in their 19 games with Nick Pope leading the way in clean sheets too with 11.
SUBS: Martin Dubravka, Jamaal Lascelles, Allan Saint-Maximin, Matt Ritchie, Jamal Lewis, Alexander Isak, Javier Manquillo, Jacob Murphy, Elliot Anderson.
The players are making their way out of the tunnel and onto the pitch!
Zaha is clearly Palace's biggest threat but the home side are not doing enough to get the ball to the winger in the right positions. Similarly for the Magpies, Wilson is not receiving enough service in the box to try and break the deadlock.
The draw takes Newcastle into third place for the time being as Manchester United are yet to play this weekend. Crystal Palace remain 12th but create a bit more space between themselves and the relegation battle. The Eagles travel to Old Trafford for their next league game while Newcastle face Southampton in the EFL Cup semi-finals.
