Newcastle United Preview – Will the Magpies pick up first league win since opening day?
Newcastle United have made a solid start to their season. They kicked off the 2022-23 Premier League campaign with a 2-0 home win over newly promoted Nottingham Forest, with Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson netting. However, they have not won since in the league.
Eddie Howe’s men went on to draw three in a row in the Premier League, including a 3-3 stalemate with champions Manchester City. They were seconds away from a draw at Anfield in midweek, but Fabio Carvalho smashed home in the 98th minute to give Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool a 2-1 win.
Newcastle have been tough to beat so far, but United will want all three points from this one having not tasted victory in the league since the opening weekend. The home side are the favourites.
Crystal Palace Preview – Can the Eagles fly back to London with a positive result?
Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace have also had a steady start to the season. The Eagles are a point and a place behind Newcastle in the current standings, winning one, drawing two and losing two of their opening five fixtures.
Crystal Palace also suffered late heartache in midweek, as they conceded in the 88th minute to draw 1-1 with Brentford at Selhurst Park. Palace’s only league win came against struggling Aston Villa, and their two losses have been to high-flyers Arsenal and Man City.

These two last met in April, with Newcastle running out narrow 1-0 winners on their own patch thanks to Miguel Almiron’s goal. The reverse fixture at Selhurst in October 2021 ended in a 1-1 draw – Callum Wilson’s goal cancelled out Christian Benteke’s opener.
Palace picked up a win at St James’ Park in the 2020-21 season, with Jairo Riedewald and Gary Cahill on target in a 2-1 away success. Newcastle won 2-0 at Selhurst that season.
