Premier League – Crystal Palace-Newcastle United
Crystal Palace hosts Newcastle United at the Selhurst Park in a match from the 21th round of the Premier League. That’s a good moment to offer you our preview for the game.
Crystal Palace are among the teams in the worst shape in the league right now. Patrick Vieira’s boys lost four of their last five matches in the Prem. That’s certainly not good. At this moment Palace are 12th in the standings with 22 points, but they need to improve as soon as possible.
In the previous round Palace suffered their 8th loss for the season. Vieira’s team paid a visit to Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge, but suffered a 0-1 defeat. The visitors conceded in the middle of the second half. They could have won at least a point, but they were not lucky enough to do it.
At the same time Newcastle United are doing better. The Magpies are third in the standings with 38 points – just one point behind the second Manchester City. If they continue like this, Newcastle could return to the Champions League after many years.
What Eddie Howe’s team is doing so far is impressive – Newcastle have lost just one game in the league. In their last five games they won three times. The Magpies are serious about their business.
In their last game Newcastle enjoyed their 10th win for the season. The team faced Fulham at home and it wasn’t easy, but they secured a 1-0 win. Alexander Isak came in from the bench and scored the winner in the 89th minute of the game. Callum Wilson provided the assist. It was Isak’s third Premier League goal for the season. The Swedish international remains a big prospect for the future.
That’s our preview for the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Newcastle United. We wish you good luck!
