Crystal Palace brought a 2-2 back from Turkey<\/a> on Thursday night, against a Besiktas side reduced to ten. A week after apologising for the 5-0 at Brighton, Pierre Sage has a leaking defence and three days of recovery, before hosting a Newcastle side who last played on 17 October. This one will turn less on the table, 14th against 11th, than on freshness and defensive holes.<\/p>\n

The league\u2019s worst defence plays at home<\/h2>\n

Palace have conceded 17 goals in seven league matches, the worst record in the Premier League, for nine scored. The 5-0 at Brighton<\/a> left marks: Sage had to apologise to the supporters<\/a>. The schedule offered no relief: Lyon, Brighton, Besiktas, three away trips in eight days, the last one on Thursday in the Europa League.<\/p>\n

The block still has answers: the 3-1 over Nottingham Forest on 11 October, just before the dark run, showed a team that plays its way out of its own half. The trouble sits behind them, and it is a big one.<\/p>\n

Newcastle leak too, but they rested<\/h2>\n

Newcastle lost 1-4 at Coventry on 12 October, then 0-1 at home to Aston Villa on the 17th. Matthias Jaissle, who arrived in August, is going through his first real storm on the bench. Eleventh on eight points, his side shows a goal difference of -4, barely better than Palace\u2019s -8. The gap is in the legs, and in a game between two blocks that leave space in transition, the legs of the team that has not played for eight days are worth a lot.<\/p>\n
