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

  4. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Is that my Eze with a missed pen AND an OG inside 5 mins? And he blocked TCIsak from a tap in. Kill me now 🙁

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Barnes has actually saved my season, it’s a joke

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Every gameweek you say saving your season hehe

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        12 months, 3 days ago

        Tis because every week there’s a new team’s season to save!

    9 Newcastle goals with none from Isak. Just when for only time his goals would have been beneficial (captain last week, TC this week) Unbelievable it really is.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years

  13. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Eze is a mega troll honestly. The only way I could really lose points tonight and Eze seeks it out. Not even meant to be on pens, go back in your hole.

  14. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    12 months, 3 days ago

    Anyone out there with Eze & Guehi ?

              To see if you’re prepared to be on the receiving end of such abusive and inappropriate language.

                Dont think Isak is on this forum mate. He's playing right now missing chances and dodging all the goals as usual.

    Really need a Trippier and Howe CS

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Now Eze fluffed it, you can basically guarantee a Newcastle CS. Fantastic, not...

  25. have you seen cyan

    To make Isak TC's feel a little bit better, I put TC on Palmer this week, so it could be worse!
