Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe knows his side need to be more clinical when they come up against Crystal Palace in the Premier League after being held to two previous 0-0 draws with the Eagles this season.
Patrick Vieira's team have proven themselves to be more than worthy adversaries ahead of this weekend's match. The sides have met twice this term - in the Premier League and Carabao Cup - both games finished 0-0.
The League Cup clash would see the Magpies go on to win 3-2 on penalties as Chris Wood, Joelinton and Kieran Trippier kept their cool from the spot. A semi-final clash with Southampton now sees Newcastle just two matches away from a Wembley final, but Howe knows his side have a job to do against Palace before they can shift their focus to thoughts of silverware.
