Palace's league form looks a lot shakier. They've lost their last two home Premier League games, against Manchester City and Ipswich, and their only league win in that run came away at Fulham.

Comparative Team Statistics: Crystal Palace vs Newcastle

Head-to-Head

These two have faced each other regularly in the Premier League in recent years, and the results haven't followed a clear pattern. Palace won the most recent meeting 2-1 at home in April, but Newcastle won 2-0 the time before that and thrashed Palace 5-0 the season before.

There's no consistent trend to lean on here beyond both sides being capable of winning this fixture depending on form at the time.

League Positions

Newcastle currently sit ninth in the Premier League table with eight points from five games, having won two, drawn two and lost one. Crystal Palace are down in fifteenth with just four points from the same number of matches, winning one, drawing one and losing three.

The gap in points is significant this early in the season, and Palace's goal difference tells its own story too.

Palace have already conceded 11 goals in five league games, more than double what Newcastle have let in.

Players to Watch

Joe Willock has been Newcastle's most productive forward recently, with two goals in his last five appearances, while Harvey Barnes has chipped in with two assists over the same span.

For Palace, Daichi Kamada has been the main creative outlet, setting up three goals in his last five matches even as results have gone against his side. Axel Disasi has picked up a red card in his last three outings, a disciplinary note worth being aware of.

How This Could Play Out

Newcastle arrive with the better recent form and a healthier position in the table, but they've shown they can be beaten on the road, as Leeds proved just a few weeks back.

Palace's home form is the bigger concern. They've lost their last two Premier League matches at Selhurst Park, both conceding multiple goals, which raises questions about how they'll cope defensively here.
