Newcastle United have arrived at Selhurst Park and the team sheets are in, with Eddie Howe’s Mags [taking on Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace](https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2026/04/11/palace-a-pre-match-thoughts-team-news-possible-xi-and-prediction/).
It’s our first game since that derby disaster exactly three weeks ago today, while Palace won on Thursday night in a Europa Conference League victory over Fiorentina.
Here’s the side we’ve gone with, including severla cha
**Newcastle XI:** Ramsdale – Livramento, Thiaw, Botman, Hall – Miley, Tonali, Joelinton – Murphy, Osula, Gordon.
**Substitutes:** Pope, Trippier, Wissa, Barnes, Elanga, Woltemade, Willock, Burn, Ramsey
**Palace XI:** Henderson – Richards, Lacroix, Canvot – Munoz, Lerma, Hughes, Mitchell – Johsnon, Pino – Strand-Larsen.
Howe has made six changes from our defeat to Sunderland, seeing Thiaw, Livramento, Miley, Tonali, Murphy and Osula replace Burn, Trippier, Ramsey, Woltemade, Elanga and Barnes.
Miley’s return is a welcome one after missing the last two months with a leg injury, while Botman will play in a mask after [returning earlier than expected](https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2026/04/10/sven-botman-set-for-surprise-return-great-news-for-newcastle-after-fabian-schar-blow/) following surgery on his face.
Bruno remains out, along with Schar, and Woltemade has dropped to the bench, despite calls before kick-off to see the big German return to a No.9 role.
For Palace, they’ve rested the likes of Sarr, Wharton, Kamada and Mateta, with the Eagles travelling to Italy next week for their European return leg in Florence.
HOWAY THE LADS.
