Palace host a second side from the north-east in less than a week and Alan Pardew will be desperate to improve on the Sunderland performance when they take on the side he left in January after five years in charge. Marouane Chamakh came on in that one and is an option again after injury while Newcastle, who have not lost to Palace since 1998, should have Jack Colback available again. Mark Tallentire
