Newcastle United host Crystal Palace in an all Premier League affair in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. The sides have already met this season, playing out a 0-0 draw at St James’ Park on September 3.
Newcastle are in the form of their life, and are on a long unbeaten run that stretches back to August. In their most recent fixture, they beat Southampton 4-1, with goals from Miguel Almiron, Chris Wood, Joe Willock and Bruno Guimaraes on the scoresheet.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are also on a decent unbeaten run. They’re unbeaten in their last two games, and won the game against West Ham with Michael Olise scoring in the last minute.
That win leaves Palace 10th in the Premier League. Newcastle’s recent win moves them ahead of Spurs in third, after they fell to a 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool on November 6.
It’s the penultimate game for both sides before the break for the FIFA World Cup, which is being held in Qatar. Newcastle are set to host Chelsea, whilst Palace travel to rock bottom Nottingham Forest.
