Hang on, we might not have heard the last of this! Trippier is the player flagged, and on second viewing, he looks to be level with the last defender as that initial ball is fired towards him!

BALL IN THE NET!! A cross-field pass to Trippier is scooped into Murphy's path by the right-back. Murphy scoops an audacious attempt towards goal, which deceives Johnstone and sails into the far corner! He wheels away in celebration, but the offside flag is up to deny him!

Palace make three alterations of their own, as Clyne and Riedewald shift to the bench with Jeffrey Schlupp absent from the team altogether. In their place come captain Joel Ward and midfielders Jefferson Lerma and Cheick Doucoure, who will each be out to stem the flow of the Magpies’ attacks.

Newcastle have made four changes following their 2-2 draw in the capital, all of which come in attacking positions. An all-new frontline of Callum Wilson, Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy will look to cause Palace plenty of problems, and Joelinton joins the midfield three. Top scorer Alexander Isak is on the bench alongside Sandro Tonali, who keeps his place in the squad despite the potential of a betting-related ban in the coming weeks.
