Choose your Newcastle United starting XI vs Crystal Palace for Premier League clash

Eddie Howe is facing a selection headache ahead of Newcastle United's clash with Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon (5:30pm GMT).

The Magpies travel to London to take on Patrick Vieira's side who are full of confidence following their 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Wednesday night. A stunning free-kick from Michael Olise saw the Eagles walk away with a point against one of the most in-form sides in the league.

Howe will be eager for his team to be more clinical in front of goal after drawing 0-0 against Palace on two occasions earlier this season, in the Carabao Cup and Premier League. After Alexander Isak came off the bench to score a late winner against Fulham, the former Real Sociedad star will be desperate for a place in the first-team.

Newcastle will still be without Bruno Guimaraes for the game, although Howe has admitted that the Brazilian's scan on his ankle was "positive". A tactical-reshuffle could well be on the cards in the midfieler's absence, as Allan Saint-Maximin will also be competing for a starting XI spot ahead of kick-off.
