Crystal Palace v Newcastle prediction and team news
Eddie Howe will be hoping Guimaraes's absence does not affect his team too much as they are on track to qualify for next season's Champions League after claiming 38 points from 19 games.
Crystal Palace are back in action less than 72 hours after claiming a dramatic point at the death against Manchester United thanks to Michael Olise's superb free-kick.
The Eagles are also missing a key man as Joachim Andersen is sidelined with a calf injury and his replacement, Chris Richards, is likely to continue alongside Marc Guehi after a decent performance on his full Premier League debut in the midweek match.

Crystal Palace v Newcastle prediction
Three of the last five meetings between the two teams at Selhurst Park have ended in draws so a share of the spoils looks a safe bet, despite this being the best Newcastle team in a long time.
Crystal Palace were on a losing streak at home before Michael Olise's last-gasp leveller against Manchester United in midweek and, despite the late timing of the equaliser, the Eagles delivered an improved performance.
Bruno Guimaraes's absence is a blow but Newcastle got the job done against Fulham without him in the second half last weekend, although they lacked a bit of their creative verve at times.
The two teams have already played out two goalless draws this campaign so we fancy a hat-trick of stalemates.
