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.

    So Newcastle seem to have stopped scoring for fun. Time to ship Almiron > Mitoma/March?

      Teams have stopped trying to play out from the back against us. So many goals from high press against defenders trying to play out.

        -3 bps on yellow, which means Trippier would have had 38 without it the yellow.

          A ludicrous eight chances created from Trippier tonight, more than compensating for that booking.

    If only Newcastle could score some goals from corners. Given Trippier's delivery and size of the other players, they should threaten more from them.

    I can only just afford Bruno.

    Now's not the time to be buying him (double not confirmed, he's still got 3 games to play before the next gw - Arsenal, Forest, Reading), but if he rises I can't afford him.

    Get him in and hope for the best?

      I wouldn't unless you're losing a player who you definitely don't want like Mount or someone like that.

      If so, I'd probably risk it since Bruno is a fitness monster and he would be good even if he doesn't double.

    0,13 is the difference between Liverpool and Brighton XG. That's quite big margin between 9 points and 1, when the outcome could have been 3 vs 2.
