    Newcastle v Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)

    Newcastle come into this encounter on 35 points, two points clear of Brighton, Southampton and Burnley, who all also sit above the drop zone.

    Crystal Palace, meanwhile, know a victory today will take them to within one point of the magic 40 point marker.

    You'd think a win for either side would see them pretty much safe from the drop, but who will come out on top today?
