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.

    Wilson has been a poor choice for my post World Cup team.

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      He's been an absolute dud. Doesn't look like scoring either

  3. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years

    Aargghh decided to go against Newcastle double défense this gw what a fool...

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

      Great shot and save by Pope

  4. tiger

    • 14 Years

  5. g40steve

    It appears everyone on here has double Newcastle defence.

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

      Someone in my ML has sensibly tripled up on them
      Trippier, Schar, Botman
      Pretty smart!

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

        I was close to getting Burn but went Bueno instead to pave the way for Saka next week

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      With Deano's injury I now have Pope Trippier and Botman. Its the dream

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

    Newcastle have conceded 2 goals since mid October (gw 11 onwards)

    Wow

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

      ben crellin had triple newcastle defense before the world cup but for some reason only got trippier on the wildcard

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

        That move must hurt

        I traditionally don’t like doubling or tripling on defence except for dgws

        Might have to make an exception but probably too late now

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

          never too late.. i just got schar this gw for double up

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

    Being national team manager seems like a nice gig. Get free tickets to whatever game you want

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

      Yeah, but sometimes Southgate has to go watch Everton.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      And the ridicule of an entire nation

  13. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Botman is consistently 1-2 pts away from BPs

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      So frustrating...

      1. Dennis System
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Still cheap as chips though

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

      Presuming Tripper is grabbing 2 or 3 every game, it reduces what's available.

  14. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    May as well keep kepa until WC right ?

    1. Dennis System
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      2026?? I'd change sooner loooooooool

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

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

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

  15. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Just saw lovely Ferguson goal off the bench. Been doing wonders for me since I hopped on early

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

      Mings has been delivering for me in place of Dalot.

      Bueno also chopped in with a 6 pointer off the bench last week.

      1. squ1rrel
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Well played, I went Roerslev instead of Mings for the 4.3 spot and got a measly 1 pointer

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

    i got in Schar.. Where is his attacking threat?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Might wanna turn back time on that

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

      It comes out of nowhere like a lightning strike sometimes from 50 yards out

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

    Guaita still taking 3pts bonus, Trippier 2pts

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

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

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

        He's even overcome a yellow card.

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

      Still time to swap places

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

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

    Almiron is not getting any attacking returns tonight.

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

    Trippier up to 3 bonus

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Why bother ever single one have him

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

    Trippier corners are heat seaking missiles.

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

    Tripps is the biggest max baps magnet since the legend that was Barry Ferguson!

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

    Title race has come a season too early for Newcastle. It’s just between City and Utd now

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years

      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Last week in me team it seems. Sad I didn't move him for Mitoma this week.

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

    Schar so close, yet so far. And now Miggy is off. Gutted

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

  28. The Bandit

    Almiroff

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

    Has any player been as good on bonus as Trippier before? He's like a FPL cheat code

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

      Barry Ferguson

  30. Make United Great Again

    2 years, 12 months ago

    Holding out on Almiron > Mitoma to save a FT has backfired. Ffs
