Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Crystal Palace in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.
Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

WIDE!!! What a miss!!! Targett's long ball puts Wood in the clear, and although he has all the time and space in the world, he side-foots his shot wide of the goal! The flag does eventually go up, but regardless, he should've found the target there!
Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace
Palace’s defeat at Leicester last time out was their first defeat in six Premier League games. They last lost consecutive league matches in December 2021.

Palace break at speed and Edouard capitalises on Krafth's slip to race away on goal. He hesitates shooting though, and is dispossessed by Schar. Mitchell crosses back into the area, but Edouard is a fraction behind it and misses the ball!

Targett crosses from the left and the ball's bouncing all over the Palace box. Almiron fires a shot towards goal, that smashes the outstretched arm of Kouyate! Newcastle players and fans alike call for a penalty, but the referee isn't convinced!

Saint-Maximin stands over the ball on the right touchline and pulls off a little dance in an effort to beat Kouyate! It's funny that's for sure, but neither ball nor defender are moved so rather ineffective!
