Newcastle United travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday in the Premier League and have the qualities to beat them with their new-look starting XI.
The Magpies visit Selhurst Park for a Premier League clash and both sides are looking over their shoulder at the possibility of relegation.
Rafael Benitez’s side are just a point above the drop zone and have not won in the league since 1 January against Stoke.
Meanwhile, Palace are three points above the relegation places and their last victory was at home to Burnley on 13 January.
Palace are likely to go into the clash as favourites given their home advantage and their good form under manager Roy Hodgson.
However, the North-East club picked up a narrow 1-0 win in the previous meeting with the London-based club this season at St James’ Park and have the capabilities to stun them in their own backyard.
This Is Futbol has named the XI that Benitez should pick against Palace, which includes the axing of a creative playmaker and three changes from the recent 1-1 draw with Burnley.
