What's at stake between Newcastle and Crystal Palace?

Newcastle head into Sunday's game after ending 2025 on a positive note by beating a struggling Burnley side 3-1, with Joelinton, Yoane Wissa and Bruno Guimaraes finding the back of the net.

That result ended a run of three league games without a win for the Magpies and Howe was delighted with the "character and resilience" his players showed, despite admitting they "made it difficult for ourselves" after going 2-0 up inside the first 10 minutes.

Newcastle will now be hoping to put together a run of wins in their bid to qualify for the Champions League once again and they do boast an excellent record against Palace in recent years, having only been beaten once in their last nine meetings.

The Eagles ended 2025 by going five games without a win across all competitions, including three defeats in the league to Manchester City, Leeds United and Tottenham.

The 4-1 loss to Leeds was particularly disappointing and Palace's involvement in the UEFA Conference League appears to be taking a toll on Oliver Glasner's squad.
