Former Everton winger on Final Score

"Cisse is just onside, just on the shoulder of Delaney. And is was very well finished."

That's Papiss Cisse's second league goal of the season and the first since the opening day. Newcastle were hardly in the match at the stage, but are now threatening a second as Cisse and Moussa Sissoko both have shots blocked in the area.

Jason Puncheon's driven ball into the box is tipped away by Rob Elliot. The Newcastle goalkeeper made more of a meal of it than it actually deserved.

Oh hello! Game spicing up here. Jack Colback brings down Wilfried Zaha and the Palace man is not happy, grabbing his opponent's leg before they square up to each other. Just handbags but both teams showing passion.

More of that please.

Newcastle left-back Paul Dummett is set for a long afternoon. Tricky winger Wilfried Zaha already working his quick feet but the cross comes to nothing. Both teams looking to utilise their wide men, but they haven't found the pin-point ball yet.

At the other end, Moussa Sissoko flashes a cross straight across the box which goes out for a throw.

Crystal Palace have made a rapid start to this game and almost force the opener. Newcastle give the ball away deep in their half and the dangerous Yannick Bolasie whips in a low cross which Fabricio Coloccini stretches to dig away.

The home side get us under way at a chilly and blustery Selhurst Park. Lots of gloves on show.

Cheers from the home fans but boos from the away ones as former Newcastle player Yohan Cabaye's name is read out on the Tannoy. Kick-off imminent.

Teams are in the tunnel at Selhurst Park and Newcastle captain Fabricio Coloccini taps the Crystal Palace mascot on the head and gives him a smile. The little Palace fan responds in a less-than-enthusiastic manner. #Awkward

BBC football commentator at Selhurst Park

"Sunderland showed Newcastle how to nullify Crystal Palace at home, negating their pace out wide and shackling Jason Puncheon. Above all, Sam Allardyce had them very disciplined.

"I can't see a repeat. Injuries might mean a Toon central midfield of Anita and Gouffran. Poor together at Manchester City, they shipped six goals.

"Palace must move the ball quicker than on Monday. They created too few clear-cut chances. Home form is a worry with three wins in 11 league games. Newcastle are also unbeaten in 11 against them.

"But Palace's desire will be key. Do enough Newcastle players really want to succeed for them?"

Limited game time at Paris St-Germain meant Alan Pardew made an enquiry to see if Yohan Cabaye, who used to play for him at Newcastle, fancied a reunion in the capital.

Yes was the answer, as the Frenchman became Crystal Palace's record signing at £10m.

The midfielder has netted four goals so far and will be looking to add to his tally at Selhurst Park today.

But will he celebrate if he scores?

Alan Pardew may well smirk, he deserves to after leaving the north to head back down south. 

Newcastle's performances have gone the same way, while after a bright start Crystal Palace are on a run of just one win in five games at the moment.

"I don't think there is anything wrong with training ground bust-ups every now and then and Steve McClaren will hope that the aggression on the training ground will transmit onto the pitch.

"I've had many bust-ups as a player and a manager and what you are looking for is a reaction."

Newcastle suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Leicester last time out with the Toon fans showing their displeasure at the final whistle.

The team got back on the training field and there were reports, external of angry exchanges between players and staff this week as head coach Steve McClaren was furious with the attitude of some of his senior players.

The black and whites have won just twice in the league so far so desperately need to take the three points home today.

Former Magpie Yohan Cabaye plays against his old club and on-form winger Wilfried Zaha is also in the starting XI as Crystal Palace go with the same side that lost to Sunderland on Monday.  

Newcastle make two changes to the side that lost against Leicester last time round with Jack Colback coming in for Cheick Tiote, while Papiss Cisse gets a start up front in place of Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Newcastle finished fifth in the Premier League in 2011-12, but the fans expected more. Manager Alan Pardew was hounded out of the club and he decided to join Crystal Palace.

Since then, the Eagles have experienced an upturn in fortunes while the Magpies are battling to avoid relegation.

Be careful what you wish for!
