Newcastle United are set to face Crystal Palace in a midweek Premier League clash at St. James' Park. The hosts will be without manager Eddie Howe, who is recovering from pneumonia, with assistant manager Jason Tindall and assistant coach Graeme Jones taking charge of the game. Newcastle, currently fourth in the table, have the opportunity to secure Champions League football next season with a victory over Palace. The match kicks off at 7.30pm BST and can be watched live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
Crystal Palace, coming off a 5-2 loss to Manchester City, will aim to challenge Newcastle despite missing Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad due to long-term injuries. Newcastle's Joe Willock is available after passing concussion protocols, while Sven Botman, Lewis Hall, and Jamaal Lascelles remain sidelined. The betting odds favor Newcastle to win at 8/13, with a draw at 23/10 and Crystal Palace to win at 7/2.
