Tim Krul: 'Newcastle United full of confidence'

Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has revealed that the squad is full of confidence ahead of Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The Magpies are currently in sixth place in the table following last weekend's 1-1 draw at home to Southampton.

Despite Palace showing signs of improvement under new manager Tony Pulis, Krul is hopeful that his side can get a positive result against the strugglers at Selhurst Park.

"Now we have Crystal Palace away and it is a difficult game," he told the Evening Chronicle. "It is also a game we look forward to and we go there with a lot of confidence."

Newcastle have won four of their last six matches in the Premier League, including a 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
