Bruno STARTS – Official Newcastle team to face Crystal Palace in 5.30pm kick-off

The teams are in at Selhurst Park, where Newcastle United take on Crystal Palace in tonight’s 5.30pm kick-off live on Sky Sports.

Here’s the side Eddie Howe has gone with ahead of a game that could send us EIGHT points clear of fifth with a win:

4-3-3): Pope – Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn – Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock – Almiron, Wilson, Joelinton.

SUBS: Dubravka, Lascelles, Saint-Maximin, Ritchie, Lewis, Isak, Manquillo, Murphy, Anderson.

Despite limping off in tears last weekend with what looked like a serious ankle injury, Bruno Guimaraes STARTS against the Eagles after declaring himself fit.

Joelinton continues down the left-hand side and Wilson keeps his place up top, meaning Allan Saint-Maximin and Alexander Isak settle for places on the bench once again.

Elliot Anderson has also returned to the squad, coming in for Chris Wood; who started for Nottingham Forest today following his move to the City Ground.

Here’s the Palace side Vieira has gone with, replacing Clyne, Hughes, Olise and Mateta with Ward, Schlupp, Auew and Eze.

Palace XI (4-2-3-1): Guaita – Ward, Guéhi, Richards, Mitchell – Schlupp, Doucouré – Ayew, Eze, Zaha – Edouard.

HWTL!
