Crystal Palace, currently 18th in the Premier League, host an in-form Newcastle United side on Saturday as they look to get themselves out of the bottom three.

The hosts have won three of their last five games since Tony Pulis was confirmed as the new manager, and they are now just one point behind 17th-placed West Ham United.

Newcastle have impressed with four wins from their last six games, but they were pegged back in their last league game to draw 1-1 at home against Southampton.

Kagisho Dikgacoi will face a late fitness test after being forced off against Chelsea, but aside from that Pulis has a full squad to work with.

Alan Pardew, apart from the long-term injury of Ryan Taylor, has a fully-fit team and could recall Yohan Cabaye to his starting lineup.
