The Magpies head coach has shuffled his pack, bringing Dan Burn and Fabian Schär into the side for their first league starts of the season as part of a reorganised back four, with Amar Dedić also back in the side.

Jacob Murphy is also in the line-up at Selhurst Park, with Will Osula in from the outset for the first time since he hobbled off on the opening day of the campaign against Liverpool.

That means Sven Botman, Malick Thiaw and Yoane Wissa revert to the bench, with Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Lewis Miley not part of the squad for the clash with the Eagles.

Lukáš Horníček is in goal, with Lewis Hall retaining his place at left back, with skipper Burn, Schär and Dedić alongside him.

Nico González partners Joelinton in the middle of the park, with Joe Willock in an advanced role and Murphy and Harvey Barnes on the flanks while Osula leads the line.

Anthony Elanga will hope to make a first appearance since early September having been named on the bench after recovering from injury, with Jacob Ramsey also back in the squad.

Nick Pope, Aladji Bamba, Sean Steur and Bazoumana Touré are also among the substitutes.
