Two teams from the middle of the table lock horns as Newcastle United prepare to host Crystal Palace.
Eddie Howe's Newcastle United are in 8th position with four wins and three draws. But the 4-1 thrashing of PSG in the UCL will give a whole lot of confidence to the Magpies who would be looking to climb up the ladder after finishing fourth last season. Newcastle United have just lost to Liverpool this season and they would be confident to ease past Crystal Palace with the former's forward battery in sublime form.
Crystal Palace have also had a good start to their Premier League campaign as they are seeded in the top half of the table. A win against Newcastle United could see them climb till the 6th spot leapfrogging their rivals. The Eagles enter the contest on the back of two toothless draws played on either side of their scintillating win against Manchester United.
