Patrick Vieira takes his Crystal Palace side to Newcastle tonight in a bid to get their Premier League top-half ambitions back on track at St James' Park.
The Eagles lost last time out in the league away at Leicester and are now sit 13th in the table ahead of tonight's fixture against the Magpies. Victory on Tyneside would propel Palace back into the top half while also seeing the side reach the 40-point mark with six matches left to play.
Vieira said in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday that he would be looking for a response from his team after they lost their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea on Sunday. He warned that he would not accept any drop-off in form or application against Newcastle and said he'd learn a lot about his side by paying close attention to how they performed.
