EDDIE HOWE has named an unchanged starting line-up for Newcastle United's Premier League game at Crystal Palace this evening.

That means the Magpies are set to stick with the 3-4-3 formation that served them so well in their most recent home game against Tottenham.

Emil Krafth gets the nod to continue alongside Fabian Schar and Dan Burn in the backline, with Tino Livramento once again named on the bench.

Jacob Murphy and Elliot Anderson will fill the wide-midfield positions, with Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes stationed at the heart of midfield.

And Harvey Barnes also retains his place in the starting line-up, forming a front three with Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak.

As expected, Callum Wilson is back in the squad after completing his recovery from a muscular injury, but the striker has to be content with a place on the substitutes' bench.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has sprung something of a surprise with his team selection, with the in-form Michael Olise only on the bench.


CRYSTAL PALACE (3-4-3): Henderson; Clyne, Andersen, Richards; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Ayew, Mateta, Eze.

Subs: Matthews, Ward, Tomkins, Ahamada, Schlupp, Ozoh, Riedewald, Olise, Edouard.


NEWCASTLE (3-4-3): Dubravka; Krafth, Schar, Burn; Murphy, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Anderson; Gordon, Isak, Barnes.

Subs: Karius, Wilson, Dummett, Ritchie, Hall, Livramento, White, A Murphy, Parkinson.
