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.

    And I thought the liverpool chelsea game was boring...

      Liverpool Chelsea wasn't really a boring game...

      1. Free Hat
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Maybe not 2nd half

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

        Very true. Plenty of interest. Mudryk looked very promising.

      3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Maybe not boring but some of the worst quality I have seen in any match for a while

        Mudryk was the shining light

  2. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Schar wastes Trippier Assist

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

      Of course she does, I own him.

  3. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    Claire Richards would have buried that header in the back of the net.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Who?

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

      Mika Richard's?

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Claire Richardss, you know, from Steps.

    Have we missed a trick this season not getting triple Newcastle defence and double arsenal

    Both have consistently been solid defensively

    Sure holds though out the season even with tough fixtures and allows transfers to be made in midfield and up top rather than wasting time and transfers on defence

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

      Newcastle defence is like 150% EO so people are definitely getting there

      But yes: 2 x Newcastle, Shaw, 2 x Arsenal looks great for rest of season

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Two of them will be on bench, wasting valuable spots for other players from those 2 teams. I think the trick is to get 2 Newcastle defenders, 1 Arsenal defender and 2 bench defenders.

      I did that after the World Cup, but now one of my bench players, Patterson, is injured.

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Not double Arsenal defence. Their midfielders have been fantastic.

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

      Double Arsenal attack is where it's at, surely?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        True but also second defence in the league saka/ode + 2 defenders might be more useful as the season starts to grind down and games become more tense

  5. I Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Anyone not captaining Rashford next week?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I am considering Bruno instead of Rashford. But, I will probably go for Rashford in the end.

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

      Few Haaland goals tomorrow and his backers will be out like in DGW19.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        I am one of his backers. Have captained him in every gameweek, except GW1 and the one where he blanked.

        But, the Manchester United fixtures next week, if they are confirmed, will be too good to ignore.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Bruno or Gnonto

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

        Will Gnonto start with Bamford in the team?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Bamford minutes will be managed, Gnonto will survive 😛 not a LEE fan, mind ...

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

    Almiron coming out for the 2nd half. Surprising.

  7. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Everton fans blaming the board but surely Lampard should take some of the blame. Also players don’t want to hear their manager say he’s not the best manager in the world.

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

      There’s a lot of blame pie at Everton and pretty much everyone associated with the club has a slice of it.

      But, the board have probably done even worse with their transfer spending than my club (QPR) did when they were in the Prem.

      This has been coming for a long time. They somehow survived last season, but this may be it for them now.

  8. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    KDB to Bruno for free? Yes right?

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

      My plan

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

      Salah

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

        what??

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

          Sell Salah

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

            dont have him

      2. banskt
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Thanks for the chuckle. 🙂

  9. lilmessipran

    Are Newcastle ever gonna concede a goal?

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      i just got in schar to have double defense. Maybe should get Pope if they get a CS to day too

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

        Haa, did that same move.

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Got some tricky games coming up.

  10. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    NEW not bringing player(s) this window? Weird.

  11. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Best move?

    A) Darwin + Mount to Weghorst + Bruno
    B) Salah + Mount to Bruno + Saka/Mahrez

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Do you have 2FTs?
      If so, sell Darwin, Salah and Mount for a hit. More flexibility, better team, lots of games left to cover the hit.

    2. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      B

  12. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    I'm safe to assume if you only have Trippier from Newcastle you really want them to concede?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yes.

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

        Not me.

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Captain?

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

      Weirdly, even a Trippier OG would be better than a CS 😆

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      thats why i got schar. no point having only trippier

    4. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Got botman too, so no !

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

        Same!

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      For sure, defence EO is very high now
      Palace won't score though

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    KDB to Bruno?

    Got Rashford and Shaw

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Everyone is doing that. Solid transfer. But, wait till more information.

  14. D One
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Newcastle seem not to be scoring much of late, sort of puts Almiron out of favour

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

    No chance Almiron scores in this game. Absolutely no chance.

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

    Newcastle is incredibly organized at the back. Doesn't look like any team will score past them.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Trippier fail

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Isn't a clean sheet and bonus the main target?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Yellow card may hurt the bonus

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Still top of NEW BAPs. Only Guaita higher.

        2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Ah apologies not watching the game, although I'd still expect he'll top it, does it most times he gets booked

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

        98% EO makes him pretty irrelevant

  18. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Zaha down

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Zaha out

  19. Wobbles
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Bye, bye Zaha

  20. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Zaha trolling himself for 450th appearance

  21. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Will Almiron ever score again? No return since I have got him

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Ah so it's your fault

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

        sorry

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      One return on restart since I got him , fraudster!

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      i sold him last week to get Mahrez. And boy that was the best move all season

  22. SirWenger
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Trippier fifth booking is that ban or extended already to 10 cards?

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

      10 needed

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

      Extended after 19 games - no ban

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

        Thanks

  23. Noutinho
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Kieran Trippier 5th yellow. Is he suspended?

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

      No, but it wouldn’t have been a bad thing for the game if he was

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

    There must be a manager that has been captaining Trippier for these last few GWs...

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Time to switch off Almiron owners. He's actually had a good game put Callum Wilson messing it up tonight.

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

    Do something Almiron!

  27. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Lovely hair Zaha.

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

    Miggy stays on!

  29. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Thank god. Wilson off. Something might happen now.

  30. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Can see Newcastle scoring with Isak and ASM on
