Newcastle United made five changes for their match at Crystal Palace, with Dan Burn and Fabian Schar starting together in defence for the first time this season.

Newcastle United made five changes for their trip to Crystal Palace, with manager Matthias Jaissle reshuffling his side significantly after suffering back-to-back 4-1 defeats to Coventry City and Aston Villa. Dan Burn and Fabian Schar were restored to the starting line-up and played together in the back four for the first time this season, with Amar Dedic also recalled at right-back. Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw were dropped to the bench as part of the reorganised defence.

William Osula started up front for the first time since the opening day, when he suffered an injury against Liverpool. Jacob Ramsey and Anthony Elanga were named on the bench after returning from injury, having missed recent matches.

Newcastle left two players at home entirely. Lewis Miley suffered a knock in training in the build-up to the game, though the injury was not thought to be serious and he is expected to return soon. Matias Fernandez-Pardo remained absent as he continued his recovery from illness that forced him off in the previous match. Joelinton said after the recent defeats that Newcastle needed to approach the Palace fixture with a mindset that 'things can change quickly' and backed the team to respond.
