Newcastle United host Crystal Palace in the final match of Double Gameweek 32.

Kick-off at St James’ Park is at 19:30 BST.

The hosts are without head coach Eddie Howe, who is recovering from pneumonia. Assistant Manager Jason Tindall is standing in for him in the dugout and names an unchanged line-up.

Harvey Barnes, who is the highest-scoring outfield player of Gameweek 32 so far (15 points), continues on the left, so Anthony Gordon is again a substitute.

Alexander Isak, who has been Triple Captained by 412,981 Fantasy managers, leads the line hoping to add to his current tally of five points.

As for Palace, JeanPhilippe Mateta starts despite Oliver Glasner criticising his performance in the 5-2 defeat at Manchester City.

The Austrian has made two changes from that clash, with Marc Guehi, who missed out on Saturday due to suspension, and Will Hughes coming in for Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada. They are both on the bench.

LINE-UPS

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Barnes, Isak

Subs: Dubravka, Wilson, Gordon, Targett, Krafth, Osula, Willock, Longstaff, Miley

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz, Hughes, Lerma, Mitchell, Sarr, Eze, Mateta

Subs: Turner, Nketiah, Franca, Clyne, Kamada, Wharton, Esse, Chilwell, Devenny

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      1. Scapegoat Salah

  29. Sif
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Murphey to Rodgers seems a little mad now, despite the double.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      FH Murphy back in for 34 then fixtures tough and keep fingers crossed

      1. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Arsenal is basically the only tough fixture from attacking standpoint

  30. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Feels wrong to sell Murphy and keep Sarr.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Why not sell Sarr then?

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Don’t, then.

      Palace playing for F A cup final.
