Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner may have been joking when he said Daniel Munoz could have left Selhurst Park with the match ball - but the Colombian wing-back could easily have had a hat-trick against Newcastle on Saturday.

In spite of their injury woes, Newcastle have been the better side so far. As things stand Opta's live win predictor suggests that the Magpies have a 42% chance of victory; Crystal Palace's chance of picking up three points is rated at 29%.

Newcastle produced an expected goals tally (xG) of just 0.02 across the match, with just one shot in 90 minutes. Palace, in contrast, produced 16 shots — only denied by their own wastefulness, blocks from Burn and Schar, and two excellent Nick Pope saves.
