Newcastle United and Crystal Palace will go head-to-head in the Premier League at St James' Park on Wednesday night, with Eddie Howe set to miss the game once again.
The Magpies claimed a dominant 4-1 win over Man Utd without their boss on the sidelines at the weekend to move up to fourth place in the table, while the Eagles threw away a 2-0 lead over Man City to fall to an eventual 5-2 loss.
Both sides have got injury concerns and the managers have got some decisions to make as a result, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the sides to line up.

Guehi and Nketiah to return
Oliver Glasner suffered a disappointing result despite a strong start at the weekend, but now he will be able to welcome captain Marc Guehi and striker Eddie Nketiah back to his squad following their suspensions.
Romain Esse and Matt Turner are also likely to return after missing the game through illness, meaning long-term absentees Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure should be the only absentees from the squad.
