Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
Newcastle are looking to complete their first league double over Crystal Palace since the 2013-14 campaign, following their 2-0 win at Selhurst Park earlier this season.
Crystal Palace have lost three of their last four Premier League away games against Newcastle, winning the other in April 2019. All four of these games have finished in a 1-0 scoreline.
No side has kept fewer clean sheets at home than Newcastle in the Premier League this season (1), with that shutout coming against reigning champions Liverpool in December in a 0-0 draw.
Crystal Palace have failed to score in 10 of their last 14 Premier League away games (W3 D2 L9).
Newcastle United have only started a calendar year with defeats in each of their opening three home league matches once previously, doing so in 2014 in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace have kept three clean sheets in their last five Premier League matches, having kept just one in their previous 24 games in the competition.
Newcastle were beaten 2-1 in the Premier League last Tuesday against Leeds United and haven’t lost in the top-flight in consecutive weeks on a Tuesday since March 1975, losing to Arsenal and Liverpool.
All 10 of Callum Wilson’s Premier League goals for Newcastle this season have been scored in the second half – he is only the third player to score his first 10 goals in a season in the second half, after Matt Le Tissier in 1994/95 and Ashley Barnes in 2018/19, while he is the first player to score his first 10 goals for a club all in the second half.
Newcastle striker Callum Wilson has scored 10 goals in his 19 Premier League appearances for the club, reaching that tally in the 2-0 win over Everton. Wilson is the fastest English player – in terms of games – to reach double figures for Premier League goals for the Magpies since Alan Shearer in 1996 (10 in first 14).
Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew has assisted in each of his last two Premier League appearances, registering as many assists in those two games as in his previous 54 matches (2). However, Ayew hasn’t scored or assisted in any of his last 12 away games in the competition.
