Newcastle had lost five in a row in the top flight before recording a somewhat surprising 2-0 away victory over Everton on Saturday thanks to a Callum Wilson brace, while Palace were 1-0 winners at home to Wolves on the same day, regaining some momentum of their own after an uninspiring set of results.
