Middling team Crystal Palace (6-6-1, 19 points) will face hard-luck squad Newcastle United (2-7-4, 10 points) at the Selhurst Park on November 28 for a Saturday afternoon match in the 2015-2016 Premier League season.
Crystal Palace is having an up-and-down season so far with two wins, three losses, and a draw in their last six games. They are currently in the middle of the league table, right at the tenth spot, as they hope to string some wins in order to move up.
The Eagles dropped a tough 0-1 decision versus Sunderland on Monday with a lackluster offensive performance at their home field, via BBC Sport.
Black Cats forward Jermain Defoe scored the lone goal of the match late in the second half to hand Alan Pardew's men their first loss in the last three games.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United is back to losing with a 0-3 thrashing in the hands of newly-minted league leader Leicester City last Saturday at their own St. James' Park, as reported by Goal.
After two unbeaten games, Steve McClaren's boys were unable to stop three Foxes from scoring with a Jamie Vardy goal right before the halftime break and two second half scores from Leonardo Ulloa and Shinji Okazaki to complete the rout.
The good news is that the Magpies are still a point above the bottom three relegation, although they are expected to re-enter it after this game against the Eagles.
The predicted result is a close 1-0 win for Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hennessey; Ward, Souaré, Dann, Delaney; McArthur, Cabaye; Puncheon, Bolasie, Zaha; Wickham
Newcastle United starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Elliott; Janmaat, Dummett, Mbemba, Coloccini; Anita, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Tioté; Mitrovic, Pérez
