Newcastle United take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon (5:30pm GMT) as Eddie Howe's side could potentially move eight points clear of Tottenham in fourth place.
Alexander Isak's late winner against Fulham last Sunday continued the Magpies fine form, with the FA Cup third round defeat to Sheffield Wednesday the only blemish on an otherwise stainless record after the World Cup. Howe's side have got a firm foothold in the Champions League places and are refusing to move an inch, as Tottenham fell even further behind with a 4-2 defeat to Manchester City on Thursday night.
The Magpies know that they face a difficult trip to the capital to take on Patrick Vieira's team. The Eagles will be on a high after a superb Michael Olise free-kick saw them hold Manchester United to a 1-1 draw on Thursday night.
