THE PREDICTION
Crystal Palace will be desperate to end their poor run of form as they face Newcastle. The visitors were on the end of a heavy loss last week as they continue to struggle for goals on the road and with Palace scoring fewer than any team in the league this season, this should be a low-scoring game.
