As the end of the season approaches and the relegation reality begins to set in, teams are in no mood for folly as they fight to ensure their Premier League status.

The Magpies edged the Eagles in their last fixture in December which was a low-scoring affair as were the previous four meetings.

Wilfried Zaha is in line to start for Palace along with Christian Benteke and Jordan Ayew in the absence of Jeff Schlupp and Cenk Tosun. Andy Carroll and Jetro Willems are among those unavailable for the Toon but the exciting Allan Saint-Maximin should be available for selection.

This game has a history of being a low-scoring encounter and that trend is likely to continue on Saturday.After a thrashing at Arsenal, Steve Bruce will be hoping his players have some kind of response against Palace but the Eagles are not run over easy and might shade it in the end.
