Crystal Palace are a point away from the reaching the 40 mark
Newcastle remain in the hunt for a European finish
Recommended bet: Newcastle to win
Newcastle have had plenty of time to reflect on the derby defeat to Sunderland as the Magpies prepare for Sunday's trip to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace.
Eddie Howe's men suffered a 2-1 loss to the Black Cats prior to the international break, adding to the pain of December's defeat at the Stadium of Light, but a European finish is still a possibility for Newcastle.
The Magpies need to get back to winning ways and they will hope to do that when they head to Palace, who have struggled at home and could be fatigued after Thursday's Conference League clash.

Prediction
Newcastle will still be seething after the derby defeat to Sunderland before the international break and Howe will expect a response from his side when they head to the capital.
The Magpies have picked up some good results on their travels, winning four of their last six away fixtures, and they will be fresher than hosts Palace heading into this clash.
While a 3-0 home win over Fiorentina on Thursday was an impressive win for Oliver Glasner's side, they have had little time to prepare for this contest and fatigue could play a big part.
Newcastle have not minded the trip to Selhurst Park in recent years, having avoided defeat in four of their last five visits and the visitors can pick up a precious win in their pursuit of a European finish.
