Newcastle will move over Nottingham Forest to third in the Premier League table with victory on Wednesday, but Palace is competing for European football themselves after a wonderful collection of the model.

Tindall said: “We do not think about anything other than preparations tomorrow night to perform a performance that we know we need to do to be good enough to win the game.

“We know that Crystal Palace is in great condition. On Saturday was his second defeat on the road in 15 games. They are not giving up a lot of goals. It will be a really difficult challenge for us. It is a dangerous aspect.

“But if we can go out and make offers like weekends, we hope that it will come a long way to help us get the points we want.”
