Newcastle United vs. Crystal Palace – Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups, and predictions
On Saturday afternoon, Newcastle will host Crystal Palace at St. James’ Park.
The Premier League resumes following the international break in October, with the Magpies now on a seven-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.
The riches of Paris Saint-Germain fell the last time Newcastle stepped out onto St. James’ Park, and the Magpies face a fresh test on Saturday afternoon.
There will be no Luis Enrique in the away dugout, but the Premier League’s oldest manager of all time, 76-year-old Roy Hodgson, who has stabilized a Crystal Palace club that was on the verge of relegation last season.
Despite allowing Wilfried Zaha to depart in the summer, Palace have had a normal steady start to the season and appear to be on track for another mid-table finish. The Eagles are tenth in the Premier League table, one point behind their opponents on Saturday.
Newcastle’s first act in 2023/24 was overshadowed by their Champions League victory over PSG, and while their league position is somewhat uninspiring, Eddie Howe’s side is now on a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions. When Palace travel to Tyneside on Saturday, the manager will be looking ahead to Borussia Dortmund’s visit.
Here is a 90-minute preview of Newcastle’s upcoming Premier League match vs Crystal Palace.

News about the Newcastle team
Despite missing international service due to injury, the hosts are hopeful that Alexander Isak will be available for Saturday’s game. Isak suffered a groin injury in the 1-1 draw with West Ham.
Callum Wilson, another striker, is also questionable, but the Englishman should be good for minutes off the bench if Isak is able to play.
Harvey Barnes will not appear, but Joe Willock and Joelinton are getting closer to their turns. The Magpies are also likely to be missing Sandro Tonali due to the ongoing situation around him. Sven Botman, on the other hand, has recovered faster than expected and might rejoin Howe’s club right away.
Newcastle’s expected lineup versus Crystal Palace
Newcastle (4-3-3) expected lineup: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Longstaff, Anderson; Almiron, Isak, Gordon.
News acthe Crystal Palace team
The visitors, like Newcastle, will be missing a slew of key players for Saturday’s clash. Importantly, Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze are still out for Palace, but the former should be close to returning.
Crystal Palace’s expected lineup versus Newcastle
Newcastle (4-4-2) expected lineup: Johnstone; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Ayew, Hughes, Doucoure, Schlupp; Mateta, Edouard.
Score prediction for Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace
In the absence of Eze and Olise, Palace were painfully unimpressive against Nottingham Forest before the international break, but their solid defense might make this a competitive contest.
Given the break and their current injury list, Newcastle may be rusty, with Howe also having a major Champions League match to ponder in midweek.
Palace are unlikely to pose much of a threat, but they may frustrate the hosts on Saturday. Newcastle, on the other hand, may be saved by a flash of brilliance in the closing third.
Newcastle United 1-0 Crystal Palace
