Palace must wish they could play at Goodison every other week after their second thrilling 3-2 win at Everton in the space of five months.
Palace are in Capital One Cup action on Wednesday when former Eagles player Alan Pardew brings his Newcastle side down to Selhurst Park in one of only four all-Premier League ties.
The sides have never met in the Capital One Cup previously and Neil Warnock's side are 8/5 to follow up their Goodison heroics with a win in 90 minutes with a draw 12/5 and a Magpies' win 15/8.
Newcastle themselves came from behind to get a point against Hull at the weekend but with home court advantage Warnock will be more than hopeful of a place in the last sixteen.
The Eagles are 50/1 at BetVictor to lift the Trophy at Wembley next year with the Geordies 33/1; Chelsea and Manchester City are 9/2 market leaders with the draw having been kind to the favourites with home games this week against Championship opposition Bolton and Sheffield Wednesday respectively.
It will be interesting to see how Warnock shuffles his pack; Dwight Gayle helped himself to a first-half hat-trick at the Banks's Stadium Walsall in the previous round and is likely to be recalled to the starting XI midweek. Gayle is 6/1 to score the opener and 50/1 to grab another hat-trick.
In recent seasons Bradford City, Sunderland and Swansea have reached the Capital One Cup Final and in the case of the latter have lifted the trophy.
A home tie against Newcastle, who currently prop up the Premier League table, gives the Eagles every opportunity to reach the 4th Round.
This has been a season of shocks in the PL and with United already out of the Capital One Cup who's to say Crystal Palace can't go all the way to Wembley?
