Newcastle and Crystal Palace are two Premier League sides who some may suggest are already on the beach with six and seven matches remaining respectively.

But both Eddie Howe and Patrick Vieira know they are within touching distance of the top half and finishing as strongly as possible is something the clubs will want as both a mental and financial boost.

Newcastle clinched a dramatic later victory over Leicester at the weekend as Bruno Guimaraes’ brace announced him to the St James’ Park faithful in a big way.

Meanwhile, Palace suffered FA Cup semi-final heartbreak at the hands of Chelsea after a somewhat flat performance. They will want to bounce back on Wednesday night.

Here is everything you need to know.

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will get underway at 7.45pm on Wednesday 20 April at St James’ Park.

How can I watch it online and on TV?

The match will not be broadcast live on TV in the UK, however, highlights will be available shortly after full-time.

Line-ups

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Krafth, Schar, Burn, Targett; Guimaraes, Shelvey, Joelinton; Almiron, Wood, Saint-Maximin.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Kouyate, Andersen, Guehi; Clyne, Olise, Gallagher, Schlupp, Mitchell; Edouard, Zaha.

Odds

Prediction

Newcastle will be bouncing after their victory over Leicester and you can imagine Crystal Palace may well be on the floor following their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea. 2-0 Newcastle.
