Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace predictions: Chris Sutton on Premier League game

Crystal Palace are another team I’ve been wrong about a lot recently – they are on a dismal run, with only one point from their past four games.
I should have thought about it more when I was making my predictions because they are badly missing the firepower of Ismaïla Sarr, who is away at Afcon with Senegal.
Brennan Johnson will add some fresh legs to the Eagles’ attack but I actually think Newcastle will run away with this one.
I always fancy Newcastle at home to score and also to run over teams, but this season they have sometimes struggled to put games to bed.
I am backing them to do all of the above this time, however. Eddie Howe’s side smashed Palace 5-0 last season, and this should be another convincing win.
Sutton’s prediction: 3-0
