Newcastle United’s recent performances are raising questions, particularly after their match against Crystal Palace. The game was sandwiched between Crystal Palace’s Europa Conference League tie with Fiorentina.
Newcastle’s Away Form in Question
Newcastle have won on their past two visits to the capital, against Tottenham and Chelsea. However, their recent form, especially on the road, is unconvincing.
Pressure Mounts on Eddie Howe
Eddie Howe needs a strong end to the season. The fact they have lost both derby games against Sunderland, and are below them in the table too, is not really helping him.
Some fans think Howe’s job is at risk.
Crystal Palace’s Priorities
Crystal Palace are effectively safe from relegation. It remains to be seen if boss Oliver Glasner will prioritise Europe, given their Europa Conference League tie with Fiorentina. This could increase Newcastle’s chances.
Newcastle did not get three points against Crystal Palace.
