The Magpies lost 4-0 to Arsenal last time out at the Emirates and now travel back to the capital to face Roy Hodgson’s Eagles, who also have injury problems of their own. How will the Magpies line-up? Click and scroll through the pages to see which players make our predicted starting XI at Selhurst Park:
5. RWB: Valentino Lazaro
Although the Austrian suffered a difficult second half at Arsenal on his first Premier League start, his performance in the first-half will likely see Bruce stick by his loan signing. Photo: Mark Runnacles
6. LWB: Danny Rose
Is there a case to recall Matt Ritchie? Again, it was not the best first start for Rose at Arsenal but Bruce will likely keep the faith. Photo: Richard Heathcote
7. CM: Nabil Bentaleb
Bentaleb struggled against Arsenal but we don’t expect Bruce to write him off yet. He certainly needs an improved display, that’s for sure. Photo: Mark Runnacles
8. CM: Isaac Hayden
The midfielder can count himself unfortunate for missing out at the Emirates. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he was recalled for the Palace trip. Photo: Alex Livesey
