The Spanish shot stopper then denied Joelinton twice in quick succession as he put out a strong hand to deny the Newcastle No 7 after he cut inside the box, before swatting away a deflected close-range strike from a corner moments later. In a half that saw Palace frustrated for seeing Marc Guehi booked after four minutes while Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes escaped cautions for similar challenges, the home side had two big chances late in the half to take the lead. First, Wilfried Zaha got the wrong side of Trippier but couldn't get his feet in order as a penalty appeal fell on deaf ears. From the resulting corner, centre-back Chris Richards headed over with seconds left in the half after being found unmarked at a corner.

Jeffrey Schlupp started in place of Will Hughes and Joel Ward came in for Nathaniel Clyne at right-back. Newcastle were unchanged from the side that beat Fulham 1-0 last week. That meant Bruno Guimaraes recovered in time from his injury that saw him leave the St James' Park game last week in tears. The Magpies, one of the most prolific sides from set pieces in the division, used dead ball scenarios to their advantage as Kieran Trippier's corner eventually found its way to Dan Burn - who lashed a volley straight at Guaita.

Joelinton was the next to comfortably find Guaita's palms with a curling shot from 20 yards out while on the break. Palace's creativity was dented by Zaha's withdrawal due to injury but the hosts actually created one of the best chances of the final few minutes. A high ball in the air towards Odsonne Edouard caused havoc amongst the Newcastle defenders, with a loose ball finding Mateta who sent a rasping drive towards the top corner.
Some good work from Joe Willock down the left led to Miguel Almiron being presented the best chance of the game, but the winger hit the side netting from a tight angle at the back post. Team news Crystal Palace made four changes from the side that drew 1-1 with Manchester United. Michael Olise was dropped to the bench for Jordan Ayew, while Ebere Eze replaced Jean-Phillipe Mateta.
