Newcastle v Crystal Palace

Newcastle head into this Premier League clash off the back of five consecutive victories, a streak that includes their emphatic EFL Cup triumph over Liverpool. With momentum now firmly in their corner and Champions League qualification back within their grasp, they face a Crystal Palace side that’s proving increasingly dangerous on the road.

A win here would see the Magpies create a vital five-point cushion over 6th-placed Chelsea, reinforcing their grip on a top-five spot.

Newcastle’s recent form speaks volumes. Five straight wins in all competitions - including silverware - has revived their UCL credentials. St James’ Park has once again become a stronghold, where the Magpies average 2.0 goals per game in the league and have scored in 19 of 21 home matches this season. Notably, they’ve found the net in each of their last nine at home, showing a consistency few can match.

But while the attack is firing, defensive vulnerabilities still linger. In the Premier League, they’ve kept just one clean sheet in 2025, conceding in five of their last six home league games.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have found their rhythm away from Selhurst Park. They’ve scored in every single away match in 2025 - eight in a row across all competitions and in 18 of 20 road trips overall. They’ve also been more productive away from home this season: more goals, more points, and fewer goals conceded.

However, the defensive wall that saw Palace go six straight away games without conceding to start the year came crashing down in a humbling 5-2 defeat to Manchester City. Against elite attacking sides - particularly those averaging over 1.56 goals per home game - Palace’s structure has shown cracks.

🔍 Newcastle v Crystal Palace Players to Watch

⚫ Harvey Barnes

Returning from injury with a bang, Barnes has scored 3 in his last 2 starts. His season SOT average sits at 0.92 per 90, but he’s looking sharp and confident. If he starts or gets minutes, he’s a threat to test the keeper again.

🔵 Jean-Philippe Mateta

Mateta isn’t your high-volume striker, but he’s clinical. With 13 league goals and 16 in all competitions, he’s outperforming his expected goals (xG). His 53% conversion rate for shots on target to goals scored this season is pretty impressive, not least to mention he has quietly added three assists too across the season, providing further potential for this line landing.
