Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace
After winning three of their last five Premier League meetings with Newcastle between February 2019 and April 2021, Crystal Palace are winless in four against the Magpies, failing to score in each of the last three. Barring an unbelievable comeback here, that poor record looks set to extend today.

Pope has to race out his box to clear a ball put in behind his defence, and it falls straight to Lerma. He attempts a half-volley from miles out, but it's off target and easy for the Newcastle goalkeeper to collect.

CHANCE!! The corner is easily dealt with and the Magpies take flight with a speedy counter-attack. Murphy is put into open pasture and crosses for Gordon, but Ward slides into the box and puts the ball over the top to prevent a fourth Newcastle goal!

BLOCKED!!! Palace's full-backs combine as Ward's floating cross-field pass is cut back across the face of goal by Mitchell at full stretch. Edouard is the recipient and shoots first-time, but Lascelles gets in the way to block and concede a corner.

Successive crosses from Trippier are blocked away by Palace defenders, with the second taking a nick off Hughes to go behind for a corner!
