Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace: Premier League prediction

Newcastle United may have to do it without Allan Saint-Maximin this weekend and that will be a major blow when you contemplate his significance in this fixture last season.

That night - with Tottenham scouts in the stands - Saint-Maximin ran the show and had fans off their seats throughout the clash at St James' Park. But at least Almiron, who scored a cracker in this fixture last time out is set to be involved.

Hopefully, the sight of Palace will inspire him to another magic moment in this particular fixture. But the headline act is surely Alexander Isak on his home debut if he's fit after a dead leg at Liverpool.

Lee Ryder's prediction

If Newcastle put the same effort into their trip to Liverpool then it should be a home victory this time. Although, they must brush up on their game management, if they are in the lead in the final stages they have to start using those corners in the style of Alan Shearer.

Back in the day there was nobody better than eating up those seconds without giving referees a chance to add time upon stoppage time.

Newcastle to get it right with a solid home victory against a Palace side that have conceded nine goals in five games.

Referee

Michael Salisbury (Lancashire)
