Newcastle have historically had the better of this matchup, winning 11 of the last 26 Premier League meetings, compared with six Palace victories and nine draws. However, Palace won the most recent meeting at Selhurst Park, recording a 2-1 victory in April 2026. Newcastle had previously won the reverse fixture 2-0 in January.

Crystal Palace team overview
Palace's recent league form has been disappointing, with their latest outing ending in a humiliating 5-0 defeat away to Brighton. Premier League matters aside, Pierre Sage's side had also failed to win either of their Europa League outings, drawing 2-2 with Besiktas on Thursday and crumbling to a 3-2 defeat away at Lyon.
There are also selection concerns. Chadi Riad remains sidelined with a long-term knee problem, while Takehiro Tomiyasu is out until the next international break. Dean Henderson has returned to training and could potentially feature, although his availability remains uncertain.
Axel Disasi is suspended, while Jean-Philippe Mateta's fitness will need monitoring after his recent injury.

Newcastle team overview
Newcastle have endured an equally inconsistent campaign, taking just eight points from seven matches. They have lost three of their last four league fixtures, including consecutive 4-1 defeats against Leeds and Coventry, before suffering a 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa.
The visitors, meanwhile, are free from European commitments and should enter this fixture with greater mental and physical freshness, or at least less fatigue.
Injury problems remain significant. Ewen Jaouen is expected to be out until December with a hamstring injury, while Valentino Livramento remains sidelined with a knee problem. Anthony Elanga and Jacob Ramsey are major doubts but have been progressing towards a return to training. Newcastle have no suspensions for the match.

Prediction
Palace's defensive record is the biggest concern, particularly against a Newcastle side that has scored in four of its last five league matches. At the same time, Newcastle have conceded 10 goals across their last five league games, suggesting Palace should have opportunities.
Newcastle have lost back-to-back Premier League fixtures, so there is no evidence to suggest that they are in a position to win away from home.
Prediction: Crystal Palace to Win or Draw (Double chance 1X).
Three reasons we expect Double chance 1X
- Newcastle have lost back-to-back Premier League matches.
- Crystal Palace avoided defeat in two of their last three league matches.
- Palace have also not lost to Newcastle at Selhurst Park in the last five league matches.
Main prediction Crystal Palace - Newcastle United
Crystal Palace win or draw (1X)
