William: Too many of Newcastle's forward players are off-form and goal-shy. We cannot have four wingers and a centre-forward with only 20 goals per season between them, but that's where it is going. I would play Callum Wilson, William Osula and Alexander Isak up front with Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes coming on as substitutes.

When Newcastle had the win in the bag with an own goal by Marc Guehi, Daniel Muñoz appeared in the last minute to give Crystal Palace a draw and rescue a point at Selhurst Park.

In spite of their injury woes, Newcastle have been the better side so far. As things stand Opta's live win predictor suggests that the Magpies have a 42% chance of victory; Crystal Palace's chance of picking up three points is rated at 29%.
