Premier League football is back following the second international break of the season and Newcastle host a Palace side that sit just one place and one point below them in the table.
If the Magpies are able to avoid defeat against the Eagles, they will extend their current unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions.
However, Eddie Howe does have one or two selection headaches to contend with ahead of the game - although they pale in comparison to his opposite number.
Palace are in the middle of a major injury crisis and whilst the international period has alleviated a little bit of the stress on the medical department, they still have a fair few injury problems to deal with.
Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps:
9. James Tomkins - out

10. Naouirou Ahamada - doubt

11. Nathan Ferguson - doubt
The former West Brom defender is yet to feature in any competition for Palace this season after suffering a thigh injury. He did play for the Under-21’s in a Premier League 2 defeat against Liverpool earlier this month, however. | Getty Images
12. Eberechi Eze - out
Eze suffered a hamstring injury just before the international break - one that kept him out of being called up to represent England. He’s facing roughly another month on the sidelines with a return after the next international break a possibility. | Getty Images
