25 min Eze slips trying to rescue a ball on Palace’s left after Guéhi tries to thread through Newcastle’s lines.

23 min Guéhi, Palace’s captain, is shouting plenty of encouragement/something Mitchell’s way, the left wing-back having had his work cut out trying to deal with Murphy.

22 min Trippier delivers to the far post, but Richards intervenes before Schär has a wild try from range. The ball flies to Sunderland.

21 min Murphy is unleashed again on the right, whipping in a low ball that Richards cuts out to deny Isak. Corner to Newcastle …

20 min A Palace long throw comes in from the right … but Nick Pope collects.

19 min Livramento bursts through on the left before feeding Barnes … but Newcastle’s momentum is halted after Joelinton fouls.

17 min Palace work it patiently around the area, with Guéhi laying off for Will Hughes inside the D … he tries a left-foot curler but can’t find the desired top corner.

Murphy finds space on the right in the area with a ball from Trippier … his head goes up for the cross, a shot most certainly not on because of the tight angle. Oh, never mind, he decides to absolutely rifle it into the roof of the net past Henderson. Stupendous finish.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Crystal Palace (Murphy 14)

Jacob Murphy has had a sublime start to this game.

12 min Trippier makes a nice run into the area to try and play a first-time ball across goal; he can’t get the right direction and power on it.

11 min Palace are camped in their own half as Newcastle’s imposing midfield three get to work.

9 min Murphy is causing havoc on the right. He whips in another cracking cross, with Isak finding space in between two centre-halves … he heads over. Newcastle are playing with a strut.

7 min A stunning save from Henderson, diving low to his left. The move began with quick feet from Guimarães in midfield to find Murphy, who advanced down the right and cut back to Isak on the edge of the area, the shot a real stinger. Palace drive down the other end as the game livens up.

6 min Newcastle are seeing more of the ball … Schär gives away a free-kick in the centre circle after clattering into Mateta.

4 min Palace play it nicely out from the back before Fabian Schär decides to try a first-time hit from around the halfway line, perhaps in the belief that Henderson, in the Palace net, was dozing. He wasn’t.

2 min … Palace avoid any set-piece drama before Newcastle knock it about in defence.

1 min Jacob Murphy takes advantage of slip in the Palace defence to whip in a delicious cross – Alexander Isak can’t get a head on it but the hosts have a corner …

Peeeeeeeep!

Newcastle kick us off, both sides in their home kits. Let’s play!

Crystal Palace have been strong on the road this season, six wins and four losses in their 15 away league games. The two teams are out and doing their handshakes.

I’m looking forward to the battle of the centre-forwards. Jean Philipe-Mateta had a quiet first half of the season after returning from Olympic duty with France but has nine league goals since the start of 2025. Alexander Isak has gone a whole two games without a goal, which simply means he’s due: the Swede has 20 goals in the league this campaign. He won’t pass Mo Salah on 27, but Erling Haaland, on 21, is there for the taking.

Alan Pardew is on punditry duty for Sky, having managed both teams. Let’s hit the dance floor:

Just in case you don’t want to keep me company.

Preamble

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the big one (forget that Bernabéu nonsense – it’s over).

Crystal Palace may have conceded five in Manchester on the weekend, but these are promising times for them and Newcastle. Oliver Glasner’s side still have European hopes, having won four of their last six league games, and have an FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa to look forward to. “I think we are in one of the best situations in Crystal Palace’s history now,” said Glasner, “being mid-April and not having to look at what happens behind you and being a little bit worried about getting relegated.”

Newcastle are still enjoying that sweet glow of Carabao success, three wins following that night at Wembley, Manchester United swept aside with ease. They look primed for Champions League football, moving above Nottingham Forest with victory tonight. The dampener has been the health of Eddie Howe, who is recovering from pneumonia. Jason Tindall will take charge again this evening on the touchline and may be in place for the rest of the season.

Kick-off’s at 7.30pm BST. Drop me a line with all your thoughts, queries, concerns, hopes, dreams, whatever suits.
