Jonathan Kodja and Wesley were both on target.

And having lost...

they're winning this in their last four in the Premier League and they've lost their last three and it's now time they need their strikers to start propelling them up they've got a crucial run of games coming up and it's whether they can do that at Villa Park and increase the heat on Hasenhutl Lewis you're at the Amex to see Brighton versus Sheffield United's side who could be a point off the top four on Saturday evening what are you looking out for there?

It's going to be something that's got to give at St James' Park on Saturday because Crystal Palace are notoriously formidable away from home and Newcastle this season have really batten down the hatches at St James' Park and they've not lost since the opening day of the season.

Steve Bruce is really getting the tune out of his players so something does have to give.

Can Palace, who I must admit they were terrible for 75 minutes against Brighton at home, can they...

They need a full 90-minute performance now.

They seem to thrive away from home, so it's whether they can get that done against a steely Newcastle side.

I wouldn't mind seeing a dusting of Christmas spice and excitement to the title race, but here's hoping.
