• Competition: England - Premier League
• Date: Wednesday, 16th, April 2025
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
• Venue: St. James' Park (Newcastle)

A red-hot Newcastle United welcome mid-table Crystal Palace to St. James' Park on Wednesday night, aiming to tighten their grip on a top-five Premier League spot.

After storming past a hapless Manchester United with a 4-1 demolition job, Newcastle United have climbed into the Champions League zone and look firmly set to reclaim a spot among Europe’s elite, holding fourth place with a two-point lead over Chelsea and an extra game to play.

The Eagles’ dream of playing on the continental stage next season suffered a serious blow, after they let slip a brilliant two-goal lead and crumbled to a 5-2 hammering by Manchester City at the Etihad, which widened the gap to sixth-placed Aston Villa to 11 points, albeit with one game in hand.

Right now, the Magpies are enjoying an imposing wave of five straight wins across all competitions, which includes winning the Carabao Cup after toppling Liverpool 2-1 in mid-March, so their motivation is clearly sky-high and they'll be determined to build further on that momentum. Grabbing a full haul, however, will be anything but a straightforward task against a tricky Crystal Palace side that has the firepower to punish anyone, as shown by the fact that they’ve scored more than twice in five of their six away outings in 2025. Despite their undeniable attacking talenat, the capital Eagles will be face a stern examination at the back from Newcastle, who have demonstraed lethal finishing instincts, particularly at St James' Park where they've bagged 3+ goals in five of their last eight Premier League home games. Considering the firepower both teams possess up front, it's difficult to see anyone shutting the door defensively in Wednesday's showdown, which is shaping up to be a thrilling goal-laden affair.
