Crystal Palace have decided to start with a front pairing of Marouane Chamakh and Cameron Jerome as they look to claim three vital points against Newcastle United this afternoon.

The hosts will be looking to support their forwards with the help of Barry Bannan and Jason Puncheon in midfield, while Danny Gabbidon and Damien Delaney are trusted to shore up the Palace defence.

The visitors have stuck with their trusted front three of Moussa Sissoko, Loic Remy and Yoan Gouffran, with Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote providing defensive reassurance in midfield.

Tim Krul continues in goal for Newcastle having made a fine start to the season.
