The Newcastle boss named an unchanged starting line-up from the side that beat Fulham 1-0 last time out at St James’s Park. Bruno Guimaraes hobbled off with an ankle injury at half-time in the match but has been deemed fit enough to start at Selhurst Park this afternoon.
Chris Wood’s loan move to Nottingham Forest sees him drop off the bench with Elliot Anderson returning to the squad in his place.
NUFC XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Longstaff, Willock; Almiron, Joelinton, Wilson
Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Saint-Maximin, Ritchie, Lewis, Isak, Manquillo, Murphy, Anderson
