With their 2 point advantage in the league table, Crystal Palace fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Newcastle United.
- Crystal Palace haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Newcastle United haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Burnley, so at least Crystal are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Crystal Palace form and stats
Crystal Palace have played 4 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Crystal are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Burnley. Before that game, the 4-1 home victory against Leeds United.
This is expected to be a close game, with Crystal perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Newcastle United form and stats
1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Newcastle United playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.
Newcastle have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 186 minutes ago. C. Wilson was the goal scorer.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Chelsea with 0-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Southampton wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Newcastle United playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were three Newcastle wins, one draw and one defeat.
Newcastle have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. Newcastle United have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
