Since the middle of December, only league leaders Liverpool (41) have won more league points than Newcastle (36). The hosts will welcome back Joe Willock, who has passed concussion protocols to be available tonight. However Sven Botman, Lewis Hall and Jamaal Lascelles are long-term absentees.

Crystal Palace have won just one of their past seven Premier League games against Newcastle - a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park in April last year. Meanwhile, the Eagles have scored in their past 13 league matches. Only twice in their top-flight history have they scored in 14 in a row, doing so between August-November 1979 and May-October 1991.
