EDDIE HOWE has named an unchanged starting line-up for Newcastle United's home game with Crystal Palace.

Howe has stuck with the same team that kicked off Sunday's 2-1 win over Leicester City.

That means Miguel Almiron remaining in the starting side, with Joe Willock once again consigned to the bench.

There is no place in the squad for Ryan Fraser, with the Scotsman once again struggling with a hamstring injury.

Patrick Vieira has made five changes to his Crystal Palace side as the Eagles look to bounce back from their weekend FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea.


NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Dubravka; Krafth, Schar, Burn, Targett; Guimaraes, Shelvey, Joelinton; Almiron, Wood, Saint-Maximin.

Subs: Darlow (gk), Lascelles, Ritchie, Fernandez, Manquillo, Murphy, Longstaff, Willock, Gayle.

CRYSTAL PALACE (4-2-3-1): Guaita; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Kouyate, Schlupp; Olise, Gallagher, Zaha; Edouard.

Subs: Butland (gk), Ward, Tomkins, Ayew, Eze, Hughes, Mateta, McArthur, Benteke.
