Newcastle United host Crystal Palace at St. James' Park in Premier League action on Wednesday.
The two sides are tied in the league standings with 37 points apiece, with the visiting side in 13th place, thanks to their superior goal difference. Newcastle bounced back well from three defeats in a row with two back-to-back wins.
Bruno Guimarães scored in injury time to secure a 2-1 win against Leicester City last time around.
Crystal Palace suffered their first defeat in the league since February as they fell to a 2-1 loss to the Foxes last week. They were in action in the FA Cup on Sunday and were eliminated 2-0 from the semi-finals by London rivals Chelsea.
Both sides have aspirations to make it into the upper half of the table and this is a crucial game for either side in that aspect.
