Newcastle United and Crystal Palace brought to an end their winless runs in the Premier League ahead of their Week 22 match at St James Park. Hosts Newcastle are 16th in the standings with 22 points while Crystal Palace are 13th 26 points. After an 11-match winless run Newcastle beat Everton 2-0 away from home with Callum Wilson’s two late goals. This was the second time in six matches that Newcastle got on the score sheet and it was their second clean sheet in 13 matches. It hasn’t been good at home as well; the Magpies have not won in their last four home matches, and have just one clean sheet in 10 there. In terms of scoring, they’ve been above average at home, failing to score in just three of their last 10. As a result, seven of their last 10 home matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Crystal Palace bounced back with their first win in five matches after beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in the last match. This was also the second straight game they scored in, after failing in three earlier ones. The London side will be hoping the win over Wolves starts a better run in the league, having won just two of the last 10. It is also tough away from home, as the team travels to Newcastle carrying a four-game winless away run in the league. They have one clean sheet in 14 away matches in the league. The last time Newcastle claimed an away win in the league was against West Bromwich Albion in December. The Magpies have just three wins in 10 away league matches this season.
