Preview

Match preview

Crystal Palace welcome Newcastle to Selhurst Park in round eight of the Premier League season, with both sides separated by just a single point in the standings. Palace sit in 14th place with seven points from seven matches, having recorded two wins, one draw, and four defeats. Newcastle occupy 11th position with eight points, having gathered two wins, two draws, and three defeats.

Both sides enter this encounter aiming to tighten up defensively after difficult spells. Palace have conceded 17 goals in seven league games, including an average of 2.7 goals conceded per fixture at home. Newcastle have experienced similar problems on their travels, conceding eight goals across three away league games at an identical average of 2.7 goals conceded per match, following recent 4-1 away defeats against Coventry and Leeds.

Selhurst Park has been a solid ground for Palace in recent editions of this fixture. Across their last four home head-to-head meetings with Newcastle, the hosts are undefeated with two victories and two draws, including a 2-1 win in April 2026. With both teams dealing with several injury absentees, this fixture presents an opportunity for either side to pull clear of the lower mid-table positions.
