Predicted Crystal Palace XI versus Newcastle United

Crystal Palace host Newcastle United tomorrow and will look to secure their first win in eight Premier League games.

The Eagles lost their last three games and drew all four prior to that, and the poor run of form has seen them slip to 14th in the table, six points above the relegation zone.

Newcastle are only a place and point above them, and Palace will fancy their chances against a side that have shipped eight more goals than them.

Manager Roy Hodgson is expected to name a strong XI against the Magpies, and with James Tomkins yet to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered at Everton prior to the winter break, Scott Dann is expected to come back in and partner Gary Cahill in the heart of the defence.
