A win for Newcastle United against Crystal Palace will see Eddie Howe’s side reach the so-called magic 40-point mark.
The Magpies are 12 points clear of the Premier League relegation zone after back-to-back home wins against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City.
Should that become three-in-a-row tonight then United, if some aren’t already admitting it, will know another top-flight football is guaranteed, albeit not mathematically.
Defeating Crystal Palace would also see Howe become the first Newcastle boss since Sir Bobby Robson to record six straight St James’ Park victories.
"To do that would be an incredible thing for us, and to do anything related to the name Sir Bobby Robson and to try and achieve one of his milestones would be brilliant for us,” Howe responded.
"I think playing at home, as we’ve always said, is such a unique thing here. It’s such a privilege to play in the stadium, and the atmosphere the supporters have created has been fantastic.”
There is plenty at stake on Tyneside against a Palace side who are looking to bounce back from their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.
Here’s starting Newcastle United starting XI we’re predicted Howe to go with:
1. GK: Martin Dubravka
The Slovakian, who some feel should have kept out Ademola Lookman’s opener for Leicester City on Sunday afternoon, has started the last 20 games.
2. RB: Emil Krafth
While Bruno Guimaraes stole the headlines against Leicester after his brace, Krafth was a strong contender for man of the match. One of his - if not his best display in a NUFC shirt.
3. CB: Fabian Schar

4. CB: Dan Burn
Things couldn’t have gone better for Burn since signing for his boyhood club in January. His strong displays alongside Schar is keeping club captain Jamaal Lascelles out the starting XI.
