Considering Crystal Palace are off the back of a much-needed 1-1 draw against Manchester United, we expect Newcastle United to make just 1 change in our predicted line-up ahead of the tricky test.
Considering Eddie Howe and Co. have not played since last Sunday in their 1-0 win against Fulham, it would be a surprise to see the Englishman tinker with the side that got the crucial result.
Also, considering that the Magpies can now extend their lead over 5th place Tottenham Hotspur to 8 points, the last thing one expects is Howe to make unnecessary changes.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace
In goal, Nick Pope, as per usual keeps his place in the XI.
While there were fears amongst the St. James’ Park faithful over Kieran Trippier’s fitness as he was nowhere to be seen in recent training pictures, a latest video posted by the club indicates he is ready to play.
The centre-back pair of Fabian Schar and Sven Botman is unbreakable and rightfully so, considering the defensive duo have conceded the least number of goals in the English top-flight.
At left-back, Dan Burn is also expected to retain his place in our Newcastle United predicted lineup against Crystal Palace.
The midfield trio sees the recently injured Bruno Guimaraes exit the side that faced Fulham, with Joelinton dropping back alongside Joe Willock and Sean Longstaff.
On the right wing, there’s no surprises that Miguel Almiron starts in our Newcastle predicted lineup against Crystal Palace.
Up front, we expect Callum Wilson to keep his place in the side.
The impact of Bruno Guimaraes’ forced omission comes through at left-wing, with last weekend’s hero, Alexander Isak, described as ‘fantastic’ by Sweden boss Janne Andersson being handed a start in our Newcastle predicted lineup against Palace.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Longstaff, Joelinton, Willock, Almiron, Wilson, Isak.
