Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, experiencing a resurgence in form, are set for a captivating encounter at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night. Both Premier League clubs have secured two consecutive victories ahead of this match. While neither side is experiencing a remarkable season, their positioning in the standings is quite distinct. Newcastle currently sits 16 points off a coveted Champions League spot, which they had returned to this season. However, they are well-positioned to secure a Europa League spot, contingent on Manchester City’s FA Cup victory and Manchester United’s failure to win the trophy. Eddie Howe’s team currently occupies sixth place, which guarantees a Europa Conference League berth at the very least. They share the same number of points as Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United but hold a superior goal difference. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is reveling in the positive impact of new manager Oliver Glasner. They have captured two significant victories for various reasons in their recent matches. The Eagles dented Liverpool’s title hopes with a 1-0 triumph at Anfield and then thrashed West Ham United 5-2 at home last week. Both teams are brimming with confidence, setting the stage for an end-to-end match. While Newcastle aims to strengthen its position in the European race, Palace seeks to further distance itself from the relegation battle.
