Newcastle v Crystal Palace: Premier League – live

Greetings and welcome to our live coverage of tonight’s anticipated Premier League clash. Forget any distractions, this is the main event as Newcastle United host Crystal Palace.

Despite conceding five goals in their recent Manchester appearance, Crystal Palace, under Oliver Glasner, are experiencing a period of promise. With four victories in their last six league fixtures and an upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa, they retain aspirations for European qualification. Glasner himself noted, “I believe Crystal Palace is currently enjoying one of its finest periods in history, positioned comfortably in mid-April without relegation concerns.”

Newcastle United are still basking in the afterglow of their Carabao Cup triumph, having secured three subsequent wins, including a dominant performance against Manchester United. They appear well-placed to challenge for Champions League qualification, and could overtake Nottingham Forest with a victory this evening. However, manager Eddie Howe’s illness (pneumonia) casts a shadow, with Jason Tindall continuing in charge on the touchline, potentially for the remainder of the season.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7.30pm BST. Feel free to share your thoughts, questions, predictions, and hopes as the action unfolds.

Newcastle United (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schär, Burn, Livramento; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.

Newcastle gets the match underway. Both teams are in their traditional home colours. Let the game begin!

Jacob Murphy is making a significant impact early in this game.

14 min – Trippier delivers a pass to Murphy, who finds himself in space on the right side of the penalty area. Despite the tight angle for a shot, Murphy opts to unleash a powerful strike, rifling the ball into the net past Henderson. A truly exceptional finish puts Newcastle ahead.

9 min – Murphy continues to be a threat down the right flank. He delivers another superb cross, finding Isak in space between the Crystal Palace defenders, but his header goes over the bar. Newcastle are exhibiting confidence and control in these opening minutes of this Premier League match.

7 min – A remarkable save by Henderson! Guimarães displays quick footwork in midfield, finding Murphy on the right, who then cuts the ball back to Isak near the edge of the box. Isak’s powerful shot forces a top-tier save from the Palace goalkeeper, diving low to his left. Play quickly transitions to the other end as Crystal Palace look to respond.

36 min – Eze approaches the penalty spot as England cautions players encroaching on the area. It’s a poor penalty attempt! Eze hesitates, waiting for Pope to commit, but the keeper stands firm, then anticipates correctly, moving to his right before diving left to comfortably collect a weak shot.

33 min – A free kick situation leads to drama. Pope rushed out unnecessarily as the ball dropped near his area’s edge. Referee Darren England immediately points to the penalty spot!
