Newcastle United clash with Crystal Palace in their latest Barclays Premier League outing.
The Magpies currently lie in 17th position but will be confident, having not been toppled at Selhurst Park since 1984, winning six of the last seven away meetings.
With such a rampant record on the road in this fixture, Steve McClaren's travelling Toon are 4/1 with Coral to overturn previously poor form and fortunes by continuing their Eagles superiority with another triumph in London.
Palace's last domestic league win over Newcastle came way back in 1998 at St. James' Park, when Alan Shearer's goal proved little more than a consolation in a 2-1 home defeat, but the Magpies have controlled all 11 match-ups since that loss.
Further cause for optimism on the road for McClaren's men is the futile form of their opponents on home soil, with Alan Pardew's Palace having gone three consecutive outings without victory at Selhurst Park in the Premier League.
Such an underwhelming run on home territory includes a recent defeat to severely struggling Sunderland and a 3-1 loss at the hands of West Ham United, breathing confidence into the Magpies for their latest arrival.
Newcastle got back on track in their last travelling domestic encounter with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Eddie Howe's Bournemouth and will look to follow it up with another strong showing in London, with the Toon 17/2 for a second successive win to nil.
Ayoze Perez clinically struck the decisive winner over the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium three weeks ago and the Spaniard is 10/3 to get on the scoresheet again anytime in his latest Magpies appearance.
Meanwhile, top scorer so far this season Georginio Wijnaldum will be seeking to continue his fine form since a summer switch from PSV Eindhoven, following an impressive six top-flight goals to date.
The Netherlands international playmaker is 11/4 to add to his domestic tally anytime, while ever-reliable marksman Papiss Cisse is 7/1 to open proceedings.
McClaren will hope to build a solid streak of results during the winter period and get into a stronger position for the remainder of the season next year, beginning with continuing with a recent dominance over Palace at Selhurst Park.
