Roy Hodgson has stuck with Julian Speroni in goal as Crystal Palace look to build on their first goals and win of the season at Newcastle.

The Argentine shot-stopper put in a strong performance as the Eagles toppled champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last week, and keeps his place despite Wayne Hennessey's return to fitness as Hodgson sticks with the same starting eleven.

Having scored the winner against Antonio Conte's side, Wilfried Zaha manages two successive starts for the first time this season, while Chelsea loanee Ruben Loftus-Cheek is back in the squad having been ineligible against his parent club.

A win on Tyneside, in the first game since Mike Ashley’s announcement he wants to sell the club by Christmas, could see the Eagles climb off the foot of the table, should Bournemouth fail to win at Stoke.

Newcastle XI: Elliot, Yedlin, Lejune, Lacelles, Maquillo, Ritchie, Hayden, Shelvey, Atsu, Perez, Joselu

Subs: Darlow, Gamez, Clark, Merino, Diame, Murphy, Mitrovic

Crystal Palace XI: Speroni, Ward, Dann (C), Sakho, Van Aanholt, Cabaye, Milivojevic, Schlupp, McArthur, Townsend, Zaha

Subs: Hennessey, Tomkins, Riedewald, Fosu-Mensah, Loftus-Cheek, Puncheon, Sako
