Newcastle vs Sheffield United predictions
Newcastle have had wavering form this season but did hit a good spell when winning three and drawing just once, which included two consecutive clean sheets.
The Magpies struggled against Palace though, losing 2-0 to a Jean-Philippe Mateta brace in the second half while not creating many chances themselves.
But in order to defend against Palace they changed from their usual 4-3-3 to go for a 3-4-2-1.
The bigger trouble for the Magpies this season has been their consistent long-term injuries while others have picked up the odd injury too.
Not only to their long list of midfielders but also to their defenders, with Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman and Jamal Lascelles facing long spells on the sidelines.
Sheffield United looked like they could have got a shock win against Manchester United going 2-1 up thanks to a Brereton Diaz goal.
But they once again opened up at crucial times conceding three in the final half hour which was prompted by a 61st minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes.
Sheffield United have now conceded 18 in their last six games while scoring eight themselves.
Coming up against a Newcastle side that can often bag a few and make it difficult from the front, they seem a bit exposed, especially away from home.
Their form both home and away is poor, but Newcastle's is much, much stronger when playing at St James' Park.
📝 Newcastle vs Sheffield United betting tips
Newcastle have top five form when playing at home, while Sheffield United have lost 13 of their 17 fixtures away, which only points to a Newcastle win with a few goals almost a certainty.
Newcastle to win, over 2.5 goals, Isak to score, under 2.5 cards - 17/5
The Premier League home table would see the Magpies in the top five, just six points behind Liverpool and five behind Arsenal and Manchester City.
They've only lost three at home while picking up as many as 11 home wins, while scoring 43.
Whereas away from home, they've lost ten and only picked up four wins.
Sheffield United have conceded 41 goals when on their travels which gives the impression of a few goals in this clash.
Alexander Isak has scored 17 goals in 22 starts for the Magpies and has been tough to stop.
Newcastle beat Sheffield 8-0 in the reverse fixture where Isak picked up one goal in just 20 minutes of game time.
Recently, there's been few and far between in terms of cards, Sheffield United and Manchester United picked up just one in midweek.
While Newcastle are unlikely to pick up a few cards when they're in command, just like against Tottenham when they won 4-0.

Gordon and Isak to score - 33/10
Anthony Gordon picked up a goal in the reverse fixture along with Isak.
The English midfielder has been in great form recently and picked up as many as six goal involvements in his last five games, including a hattrick of assists against West Ham.
But he's picked up ten goals so far this season but should find a few chances against struggling Sheffield United, who look accepted to relegation.
⚽ Go for Gordon and Isak to score at 33/10 with BetMGM ⚽
