Undefeated since Gameweek 5, Newcastle United can go eight points clear of fifth place with a win at Selhurst Park tonight.

Crystal Palace’s clash with the Magpies kicks off at 17:30 GMT.

Eddie Howe’s side are unchanged from last Sunday, which means that Bruno Guimaraes has made a remarkable recovery from an ankle injury that threatened to keep him out for weeks.

Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin, who would have been tussling to replace Guimaraes had he been ruled out, have to be content with a spot on the bench again.

Despite picking up a point against Manchester United, Patrick Vieira has made four changes to his line-up.

Joel Ward, Eberechi Eze, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jordan Ayew are brought back into the side as Michael Olise, Nathaniel Clyne, Will Hughes and Jean-Philippe Mateta make way.

GAMEWEEK 21 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Richards, Guehi, Mitchell, Doucoure, Schlupp, Eze, Edouard, Zaha, Ayew.

Subs: Johnstone, Milivojevic, Olise, Mateta, Clyne, Hughes, Riedewald, Wells-Morrison, Ozoh.

Newcastle United XI: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, S Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock, Almiron, Joelinton, Wilson.

Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Saint-Maximin, Ritchie, Lewis, Isak, Manquillo, Murphy, Anderson.

  2. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Would you start Kepa or Ward...?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I started Ward ahead of Ramsdale. Happens sometimes. Just let it go, mate.

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Of course,it's just a game.8 points though. 🙂

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Kepa, because Leicester can't keep CSs atm.

  3. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Bruno Fernandes is safe for bringing in?
    He have 4 yellows?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes United have played 19 league games

  4. Team Bobcat
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Bit late to the table so excuse the Q. Where is Ivan Toney. I bought him in this week. I know he may be facing a ban but no news??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Presumably in a nice Yorkshire hotel.

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

      Feet up, resting himself for a brace tomorrow hopefully!!!

  5. Jones Kusi
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Thoughts?

    KDB, Andreas > Bruno, Odegaard

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I like

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Far too early for transfer dilemmas.

      1. Jones Kusi
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Never too early to think and plan

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Looks great if you've no interest in KDB for DGW23.

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Foden looks like better option

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Does he?

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          The same Foden who scores 0 or 1 ?

        3. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          ???

    4. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Likely my transfers as well

  6. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Patterson and Almiron
    To
    White and Mitoma for free?

    1. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      A solidly positive move

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers

      2. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Or....

        Patterson Martinelli Almiron

        To

        Botman Mitoma Odegaard for -4?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Let the game play out, should be obvious with all the new info on the way.

  7. Shteve
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Was that a can of red bull that Zaha was drinking?

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Pure poison for the human body

      Surely their staff wouldn't allow that

      1. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Not sure if it was. If it was, probably a sponsorship thing

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Coca Cola sponsor lots of sports related things - it is no worse than that

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Not watching but so what it it was?

      1. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        So nothing.. It was a question.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Loaded one though - you were implying something or it isn’t worth asking

          1. Shteve
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 12 months ago

            Not intentionally well, genuinely curious.. Not too often you see a PL player drinking from a can while walking onto the pitch.

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 12 months ago

              Seen a clip of Vardy downing a Red Bull on some random goals video a bit ago

            2. The Big Fella
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 12 months ago

              Ok fair. I imagine most major sport stars take some form of caffeine before their event. It’s a neurostimulant. Taurine is also cited expensively in the academic literature as lending performance enhancing benefits in sport. Check out examine.com. They will all carb load before the match too for energy.

              1. The Big Fella
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 12 months ago

                Expansively

              2. Shteve
                • 16 Years
                2 years, 12 months ago

                Cheers, I'll take a look at that site. I googled Zaha and Red Bull and couple of pics showed up of him doing it before so must have been. Whatever works I guess!

  9. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years

    Where is the guy who was going to bring Bowen in for this weekend but everybody was talking him out of it? Did he go for it or fold under (peer) pressure?

  10. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years

    Bench boost activated

    Ederson Meslier*
    Trippier Schär Zinchenko White Shaw*
    Rashford(C)* Mahrez Mitoma Odegaard Rodrigo*

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

  12. Glasner Ball

  13. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  14. La Roja

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    When was the last time Wilson scored a hattie ?

    1. Dunk and Disorderly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      2017/18 season for Bournemouth vs Huddersfield. In the Premier League anyway.

  16. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years

    Surely Schar scores his long overdue/imminent goal today ?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Man that would be sweeeeeeeet

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It Scharl happen

        Surely it should, ...don't call me Shirley

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years

      Hope so.

  17. Digital-Real

    Almiron will score

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Why you jinx it bro

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years

        didn't realise I had such powers

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

      In 2024. We just have to accept old Almiron is here to stay.

        Thanks mate

  20. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Card for Guéhi, but not for Trippier. Pawson upto his normal mode.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Guehi one was a bit harsh, but can't really compare studs into the shin and a slight tug. If he'd booked Trippier then he'd have to give Guehi a second yellow for the block on Wilson.

  21. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    What do we thinking Zaha’s hair?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      think of*

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Pretty

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Bad

    3. g40steve

      Yuk

      1. norab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I think it looks like a kinetic sand mold

    4. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Reminds me of a Barristers Wig

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    More like Almiroff

  23. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Palace can't get anywhere near that Newcastle box..no way Newcastle concede here

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I see the reverse jinx is in play

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      You’re forgetting, I own two of them, so defo conceding

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        An i have Zaha too and when Newcastle do concede it's ayew and eze in the goals.

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Guehi will be sent off soon

  25. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Should have given the free kick to Schar!

  26. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Wasted

  27. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    What do we think about this WC?

    Meslier
    Zinchenko - Shaw - Estupinan
    Saka - Ødegaard - Bruno - Rashford - Rodrigo
    Haaland - Gnonto

    (Ederson, Trippier, Ferguson, Bueno)

    8.7 ITB

    Rodrigo -> KDB for GW23
    Bruno + Gnonto -> Mitoma + Kane in near future and still more than 0.5 to toy around with Bueno & Meslier before a BB at some point.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      There’s a game on

  28. g40steve

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Eze does it.

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Eze good

  29. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Having two newcastle defenders makes watching them unnerving only, no fun at all.

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I’ve gone whole hog and have Pope as well

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Jeez, like watching a new horror movie every weekend.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Don't watch then.

  30. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Time to sell Almiron. Poor so far
