Crystal Palace is riding a wave of positivity and targeting another upset win at home to Newcastle United on Wednesday in Premier League action.
Almost a fortnight out of action, Newcastle United returns to Premier League duties at Crystal Palace on Wednesday for a clash between two teams seeking their third win in a row. The dream of qualifying for the Champions League is well and truly over for the Magpies, but there’s a chance the consolation prize of a place in the Europa League could still be brought back within their reach. Meanwhile, Palace is prospering and built on a stunning 1-0 win away to Liverpool by battering West Ham 5-2 on Sunday and is now targeting three straight wins for the first time in more than a year.

After an up-and-down start to life under new boss Oliver Glasner, Sunday’s trouncing of the Hammers appeared to yield some vision of what’s possible under the Austrian’s care.
The South Londoners scored four first half goals in a Premier League match for the first time in their history. The seventh minute opener converted by Michael Olise was particularly pretty.
Ebercehi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta followed their teammate onto the score sheet, along with an own-goal courtesy of Emerson Palmieri, to keep the Eagles 14th in the table.
The sudden rush of points has taken Palace to 36 points with five games to go, which should be good enough to guarantee top-flight soccer next season and relieves a mountain of pressure.
The same can’t be said for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, however, who is still in recovery mode and scrambling to secure European soccer for next term after a damaging December.
Newcastle is unbeaten in four and most recently slaughtered the Spurs 4-0 on April 13, where Alexander Isak led the charge with a brace to take his tally for the season up to 17.
The Magpies will once again be leaning on the Swede to impress given Callum Wilson remains out of commission, while Joelinton, Lewis Miley, Kieran Trippier, Joe Willock and Sven Botman are also injured for Newcastle.
Regional restrictions may apply.
