Crystal Palace will face Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United in the Premier League next weekend.

Jamie Redknapp has predicted in The Daily Mail that Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha could win a penalty against Newcastle United next weekend.

Palace will take on Newcastle at Selhurst Park in the Premier League this coming Saturday afternoon.

Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Redknapp made the comments following Zaha’s criticism of refereeing decisions going against him this past weekend during tackles and challenges.

Following the match against Huddersfield Town, the Ivory Coast international winger claimed that he feels like for anyone to get a red card, he would have to get his leg broken, as quoted on BBC Sport.

Redknapp wrote in The Daily Mail: “Zaha must be one of the unluckiest players in the Premier League in terms of how he is treated, but now he has spoken out, every referee will be on red alert.

“When Crystal Palace face Newcastle on Saturday, it would not surprise me if Zaha wins a penalty.”

Big game

Both Palace and Newcastle could struggle for survival in the Premier League this season.

The Magpies are in poor form at the moment and need to put together a run of positive result.

Palace need Zaha to be at his very best in order to win matches this season, and the London club will fancy their chances against Rafael Benitez’s side at Selhurst Park next weekend.
