Crystal Palace (H)
The Eagles currently sick rock-bottom of the Premier League after seven matches, yet to pick up a single point this season and failing to even find the back of the net. They stand as relegation favourites and Newcastle need to heap the misery upon Roy Hodgson’s side in two weeks time.
Newcastle need to avoid dropping points to those below them, particularly the clubs embroiled in a relegation battle, so three points against a Crystal Palace side should be the minimum objective for Rafael Benitez’ side.
