Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Newcastle United in the Premier League today.
Eddie Howe made no changes to his Newcastle line-up, who beat Fulham 1-0 last Sunday. That means the likes of Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron provided the attacking thrust for the Magpies.
Meanwhile, Patrick Vieira made four changes to the Crystal Palace side that drew 1-1 with Manchester United in midweek.
Joel Ward, Jordan Ayew, Eberechi Eze and Jeffrey Schlupp all started for the hosts, with Wednesday’s hero Michael Olise on the bench.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today’s game in the live blog below:

Zaha and Mitchell combine well near the halfway line and then the latter proceeds to try and find Ayew with a ball down the line. Botman does well to shield the ball and pass to Pope.

Palace are really struggling when going forward. Ayew’s shot in the 34th minute was their first of the game, the longest they’ve had to wait in a Premier League game since the opening day of the season against Arsenal (42nd minute).

SAVE! Guaita makes a great save to keep the game level! Joelinton strikes the ball on the half-volley from seven yards out and his effort deflects off Mitchell before reaching the goalkeeper. He instinctively gets his body in the way to stop the shot.
