After another successful season winning the Conference League, Palace have struggled this term.
Coveted manager Oliver Glasner left for Nottingham Forest, and was replaced by Pierre Sage.
Placae have faced more shots in the league than anyone else (125).
The latter is reportedly under pressure already, as the Eagles have been far too open defensively and are just above the relegation zone.
Palace are also sweating on Jorgen Strand Larsen's fitness, after he came off injured against Besiktas.
Newcastle are also monitoring Anthony Elanga with his injury, while Jacob Ramsey has returned to training.
Matthias Jaissle may tinker with his team after a run of three defeats in four matches.
Palace have conceded 2+ goals in 11 of their last 13 league games.
The latest came against Villa where they failed to score at home, and tensions are starting to increase in the North East.
With Palace also out of form, the Magpies will seek this as a chance to bounce back.
