Crystal Palace v Newcastle betting tips: Magpies move on from Bruce

They have tallied the most draws at this stage a Premier League campaign since 2014-15, when both Arsenal and Sunderland had five draws in their first eight.

The draw is on offer at odds of 13/5 in the Crystal Palace v Newcastle betting tips.

Newcastle’s defeat at home to Spurs means they have failed to win any of their first eight Premier League matches of a season for only the third time.

After much speculation, Bruce was given his marching orders on Wednesday with Paulo Fonseca 4/7 favourite to replace him in the Next Newcastle Manager market.

Graeme Jones will lead the team on an interim basis, starting with Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace.

He will be supported by the coaching team of Steve Agnew, Stephen Clemence, Ben Dawson and Simon Smith. https://t.co/uvkGGdpEUa

Newcastle have won just one of their last six away Premier League games against Palace (D3 L2), though it was in this exact fixture last season when they triumphed 2-0.

Crystal Palace v Newcastle key battles

Newcastle have defensive issues.

They have kept just three clean sheets in their last 25 Premier League games, with each of those coming against the three relegated sides last season.

The Magpies have conceded more goals than any other Premier League side so far this term (19) and they are 19/5 to keep a clean sheet.

Palace have done most damage in the second half, so Vieira will hope for more ahead of the interval.
