Newcastle United are eyeing three crucial points tomorrow afternoon against Crystal Palace, as the Magpies aim to consolidate their position in the top-half of the Premier League table and give their survival hopes a further boost.
The clash against the Eagles kick-starts a crucial run of games for Rafael Benitez’ side, with stern tests against Burnley and Bournemouth on the horizon, and those three matches could end up having a decisive say in how the season pans out.
Newcastle, who currently have 11 points from eight games, are sitting in a decent position but the tide can change swiftly, particularly if the Magpies fail to secure positive results over the course of the next three games.
Crystal Palace, rooted rock-bottom in the Premier League standings, gave their season a crucial boost last week with a surprise victory over defending champions Chelsea and the warning signs are there for Newcastle this weekend.
If the Magpies are to keep all three points on Tyneside, then they’ll need to be extremely careful about these three players.
