Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe will hope to have Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin back for the trip to West Ham next weekend.
The duo have been missing with soft tissue injuries sustained on United's hectic run of three games in the space of seven days, Bruno going down after an injury at Tranmere and Saint-Maximin hurt at Wolverhampton Wanderers after a defensive sprint back trying to prevent a goal. Callum Wilson is the other Toon star that is edging closer back into contention with a similar worry.
Even without the trio, Newcastle managed to conjure up 23 goal attempts but could not find a way past Crystal Palace's veteran Spanish keeper Vicente Guaita. The 35-year-old was arguably the overall man of the match as he stopped everything and used every trick in the book to earn Palace a shutout.
