Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Match Preview

• Crystal Palace go into this on the back of a 5-2 drubbing of West Ham.
• Newcastle saw off Spurs 4-0 in their previous Premier League game eleven days ago at St. James’ Park.
• Jean-Philippe Mateta delivered a brace in the weekend’s win over the Hammers.

Crystal Palace produced their best performance of the season on Sunday afternoon. They demolished West Ham 5-2 at Selhurst Park. The Eagles looked beyond impressive in the first half, scoring four of their five goals by the 31st minute of the affair.

Oliver Glasner’s men will now chase their third straight Premier League win. They host another in-form side Newcastle United in a super-exciting Matchday No 29 fixture on Wednesday evening. The Magpies were not in action at the weekend. They impressed in the previous game, though, beating Tottenham 4-0 eleven days ago at St. James’ Park.

Newcastle have grown in form and confidence of late. They won three and drew one of the last four Premier League fixtures. Head coach Eddie Howe can be particularly pleased with the improvements in his team’s defensive showings. The Magpies kept their net untouched in two consecutive league fixtures.
