To win six home games in a row is nothing to be sniffed at for Newcastle United and Eddie Howe.
The last three home games in particular have followed a similar pattern, defensively the Magpies have been strong against three tough opponents in Wolves, Leicester and now Crystal Palace. All of these games were against teams that have done very well in league and cup competitions but Newcastle made them look very ordinary.
Against all of these teams they stopped the threats of all players. They certainly prevented Palace being any threat in the wide areas.
