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, Jean–Philippe 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

      Munoz deserves some recognition here, that is an impressive score considering he had 2 games and didn't get a red card or miss a pen.

    Looking at the current Palace v Newcastle game what should you do:
    1. Bb with Sels, Libra, Murphy, and Konate
    2. Murphy to Rogers and Bb with Sels, libra, Rogers, konate
    3. Murphy to Rogers and Libra to Digne(also have konsa) and Bb with Sels, digne, rogers, konate
    4. Don’t use Bb. And just bench Hendo sarr mateta and libra and start Sels konate and murphy

    There's a high chance I add Eze to my never ever, even if there is a gun to my head, buy list. That clown has ruined my gw basically single handedly.

    - Minus points for pen miss
    - Mateta would have scored
    - Newcastle keep cs
    - Eze gets subbed because he sucks, Mateta probably wouldn't be subbed if he scored
    - I got Eze in for a hit

    He is just the ultimate troll in FPL. Look at GW1s 1-10 when everyone owned him too, I hope people didn't forget how much he trolled back then.

    If you take one lesson from this season into the next, never buy Eze in GW1, two seasons in a row, maybe 3, he did that blank run at the start.
