Crystal Palace goalless draw against Newcastle United

In the previous six days, Palace had played three games. Midweek, a 1-1 draw with Manchester United gave Vieira's team a point after they lost 1-0 against Chelsea. After Wednesday night's tie with Erik ten Hag's team, the French coach made four adjustments, starting Jeffrey Schlupp, Eberechi Eze, Joel Ward, and Jordan Ayew.
