---------------------------------
Newcastle United will aim to strengthen their Champions League hopes as they host Crystal Palace at St James' Park in the Premier League. After a dominant 4-1 victory over Manchester United, the Magpies sit fourth with 56 points. In contrast, Crystal Palace is in 12th place with 43 points, following a tough 5-2 loss to Manchester City.
Team Analysis:
Newcastle United delivered an impressive performance against Manchester United, forcing 13 turnovers and creating six big chances. Their 4-1 win marked their fifth straight victory, though they were disappointed to concede a goal, which was only the third time in five games they’ve allowed an opponent to score.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, took an early 2-0 lead against Manchester City, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw. Manager Oliver Glasner will be concerned after his team faced 12 big chances, although they had previously conceded more than one goal only once in their last 10 games, managing five clean sheets.
Player Situation:
Newcastle United will be without centre-backs Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman for Wednesday’s match, and left-back Lewis Hall could be sidelined until late June due to an ankle issue. TinoLivramento will likely continue on the left side of defence, with Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, and Dan Burn completing the back four. Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton could start in midfield, while Anthony Gordon might replace Jacob Murphy in attack.
Crystal Palace will benefit from the return of centre-back Marc Guehi, who is expected to play in a back three alongside Chris Richards and MaxenceLacroix. With CheickDoucoure injured, Adam Wharton may partner Will Hughes in midfield. IsmailaSarr and EberechiEze are likely to support striker Jean-Philippe Mateta in the attack.
Result Prediction:
Crystal Palace will benefit from Marc Guehi's return to defense, but they may still face challenges against Newcastle's strong recent form. Both teams are unlikely to keep a clean sheet, and an entertaining draw seems plausible, especially given Palace's solid away performances.
Predicted Result: Newcastle United 2-2 Crystal Palace
