Crystal Palace are another team I've been wrong about a lot recently - they are on a dismal run, with only one point from their past four games.
I should have thought about it more when I was making my predictions because they are badly missing the firepower of Ismaïla Sarr, who is away at Afcon with Senegal.
Brennan Johnson will add some fresh legs to the Eagles' attack but I actually think Newcastle will run away with this one.
I always fancy Newcastle at home to score and also to run over teams, but this season they have sometimes struggled to put games to bed.
I am backing them to do all of the above this time, however. Eddie Howe's side smashed Palace 5-0 last season, and this should be another convincing win.
Sutton's prediction: 3-0

Newcastle United take on out-of-form Crystal Palace on Sunday (15:00 GMT), with the Magpies vying to win back-to-back league games for just the second time this season. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before the match.
Magpies flourish against back three
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe predicts January will be a "season-defining month" for his side, who will play nine fixtures across four competitions with "minimal rest between games". The Magpies go into the new year buoyed by a rare away success, with Tuesday's 3-1 victory at Burnley just their second league win on the road this term.
But despite racing into a two-goal lead inside seven minutes at Turf Moor, Howe's team were made to sweat. Josh Laurent pulled one back in the 23rd minute, extending Newcastle's run without a clean sheet to 12 league matches, and later hit the crossbar. The result was only secured by Bruno Guimaraes' strike in stoppage time.
While not entirely convincing, the win maintained a notable tactical trend. Newcastle have now claimed 10 consecutive Premier League victories against opponents starting with a back three or back five – a sequence that should inspire confidence against a Palace side committed to a 3-4-2-1 system.
Tiring Palace in need of reinforcements
Tom Cairney's equaliser for Fulham on Thursday extended Crystal Palace's winless streak to four league games, but boss Oliver Glasner was quick to praise the efforts of his players - acknowledging that fixture congestion has taken a toll on his threadbare squad.
"As long as the legs did what we wanted them to do we were OK," the Austrian said. "We have so many games and the squad is quite short of numbers, but they give everything they have. I know these players will give their best in every single game."
At least one reinforcement has arrived, with Brennan Johnson joining from Tottenham for a club-record fee of £35m. The Welshman slipped down the pecking order at Spurs this season, starting just six league games, but he scored 18 times in all competitions last term and could ease the goalscoring burden on Jean-Philippe Mateta.
However, Johnson has yet to score in eight previous appearances against Newcastle in all competitions. Palace, meanwhile, have a poor recent record at St James' Park, failing to find the net on each of their last five visits in league and cup.

The 24-year-old Wales international has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Eagles and is eligible to play against Newcastle on Sunday.
"I'm really delighted that Brennan has joined the club," said Glasner. "He arrives very early in the window, so credit to the club for making this happen so quickly.
"Brennan will give us options in our attacking play with his pace and goalscoring ability and with all the upcoming games he will be a valuable addition to the squad."
Brennan added: "I'm really excited and I'm really happy. Crystal Palace are such a great club - one that I've always admired.
"It's a great time for me to be here and join the journey that this club is on – I'm super excited."
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says it is unlikely any injured player will recover in time for Sunday's game at Newcastle so they will play with a depleted squad once again.
It was a similar story for Palace on Thursday when they hosted Fulham with just 14 outfield players from the squad available.
Glasner says they do have the "youngsters" but it is important to "find the right moment to give them minutes" so that their confidence isn't knocked long term.
"For example, Coming on [against Fulham] and making a mistake and you lose, it's massive pressure on a young boy," he said.
"It's really being very careful and cautious with them to find the right moment."
But despite having a reduced squad, Glasner is extremely pleased with the way his players are performing and supporting one another during this relentless fixture patch.
"It's just confirmation of what they have shown from day number one: it is just an amazing group of players," the Palace boss added. "They're always sticking together and giving their best.
"And even when we don't perform on our top level, we always try to win, try to get the point, like it was all the games."
Palace, who will have the option of Friday's signing Brennan Johnson, will hope to do better than last season when they were thumped 5-0 at St James' Park by a ruthless Newcastle.
"It's up to us to keep the crowd quiet," Glasner said. "They have pace everywhere.
"They have a great, very dominant central midfield. We will give our best to do it better than last year."
Image source, Getty ImagesMatch of the Day pundit Steph Houghton believes Brennan Johnson's move to Crystal Palace is the right one as it benefits both the player and the Eagles.
BBC Sport reported on Thursday that a £35m deal has been agreed with Tottenham for the attacker and the transfer could be finalised upon the full completion of medical checks on Friday.
"Palace have had a lot of games over a short period of time," said former England captain Houghton. "They are lacking bodies and Johnson, with his experience and with a World Cup around the corner, will have his focus on playing more games.
"He's not featured much for Spurs and he scores big goals in big moments. That's what Crystal Palace have lacked his season.
"It is help for Jean-Philippe Mateta up front."
Johnson, who was Spurs' leading scorer last season with 18 goals, has scored twice in this Premier League campaign and is not part of manager Thomas Frank's long-term plans.

We asked for your thoughts after Thursday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Fulham.
Here are some of your comments:
Palace fans
Al: A game of two halves. Strong first and a tough second, with tiredness setting in and oddly late substitutions that might have given fresh impetus if made earlier. Injury to Will Hughes is a worry but Brennan Johnson coming in is a start.
Andy: Fulham started the better but Palace came into the game well, and continued on top at the start of the second half. Injuries, Afcon absentees and squad depth gradually took its toll though. Fulham pushed hard at the end of the game and were the stronger team, so I'll settle for the point. Looking forward to Johnson passing his medical.
Robert: It had a draw written all over it. If we had won it wouldn't have been a convincing victory. Fulham played the better football, and Palace need to up their game if they're going to finish in the top half. The absence of Daniel Munoz and Ismaila Sarr is really telling and affecting every game.
Steve: At the moment, it is easy to play against Palace - pass the ball around at pace, get Palace to chase shadows and, eventually, the players will tire - conceding in the last 10/15 minutes. Oliver Glasner needs to change his system to shore up the middle of the park. If necessary, score first - like on Thursday - and play four or five across the middle. Otherwise, this Sunday, Newcastle could easily put the team to the sword and deliver quite a thrashing.
Fulham fans
James: It was a decent performance. We had more of the possession and more of the chances but just didn't manage to take them. It's not a bad result against a good team. Crossed fingers for the Liverpool match on Sunday.
Michael: Should have punished Palace early on before they turned up. Classic bench appearance from Tom Cairney. He deserves more minutes. The fans know it - why doesn't Marco Silva?
Will: I would have taken a point coming into this game but we should have had all three. Absolutely vintage Cairney to get us level.
Phil: Fulham were the better team against Palace and deserved to win. Conceded the goal only because we were down to 10 men after the ref ordered Jorge Cuenca off because he was 'injured'. Great performance by Fulham in the second half with chances to get all three points. By the way, Cairney is a legend and improves Fulham every time he comes on.

Pundits Steph Houghton and Dion Dublin join host Mark Chapman to bring you the action and talking points from Thursday's Premier League fixtures.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Two big chance and incredible saves from Henderson. We are in survival mode right now.
"As long as the legs did what we wanted them to do we were ok. We didn't give them a lot, we created and scored a nice goal. Then it was a question of time to concede, the pressure increased and we couldn't release from it.
"I have huge appreciation from the players, I can see their effort. We have so many games and the squad is quite short of numbers, but they give everything they have. I know these players will give their best in every single game."
On Fulham manager Marco Silva saying he knew Palace would get tired: "It's not worrying me, it's about finding a solution.
"Every manger look to find the weaknesses of the opposition. The next three games I don't expect many changes [players coming back].
"When the legs and the mind are not that fresh it's a little bit difficult. It was a good point today."
On Mateta scoring after a run of one goal in eight games: "It was a great goal, a great header, a fantastic cross from [Nathaniel] Clyne. It will help him but us definitely. I spoke to him yesterday, it's normal as a striker to have some periods when you don't score. It told him since I arrived he is something like fourth in goals behind only Erling Haaland, Mo Salah and Cole Palmer.
"I said that's normal, I always trust he can score goals for us and give everything to help the team. Today he could."
Did you know?
Crystal Palace are winless across their last five home Premier League games (D2 L3) - their longest run at Selhurst Park since a seven-match streak between September and December 2023, which included a draw against Fulham.
Palace's Nathaniel Clyne grabbed his first Premier League assist since April 2022, with Fulham becoming the first side he's recorded multiple assists against in the competition.
In this match, Marc Guuhi became the 12th player to reach 150 Premier League appearances for the Eaglies, and fourth defender after Joel Ward (306), Tyrick Mitchell (188) and Scott Dann (164).

Crystal Palace seek to end a three-match Premier League losing run, their longest for 14 months, on Thursday (17:30 GMT) when they host an in-form Fulham side who have kept a clean sheet in each of their past four top-flight visits to Selhurst Park.
Problems for Palace at both ends of the pitch
Sunday's defeat by Spurs encapsulated where it's going wrong for Palace of late, as their manager Oliver Glasner is well aware.
"We created enough to score goals but miss all our chances and get punished by a corner, a set-play," he lamented soon after the final whistle. "We need to get this fixed."
While the expected goals metric is given greater credence by some than others, it does lay bare Palace's attacking shortcomings this season. They would reasonably have been expected to score 29 league goals so far based on the quality of chances created; their actual tally of 21 goals equates to by far the biggest underperformance in the division.
Jean-Philippe Mateta was the Premier League's second highest scorer in 2025 with 17 goals, but the only one of those to come in his last eight top-flight games was a penalty. The absence of dynamic duo Ismaila Sarr and Daniel Munoz on the right-hand side has been keenly felt, prompting Palace to make a £35m move for Tottenham's Brennan Johnson.
At the other end of the pitch, the Eagles are suffering from the yips when it comes to defending set-pieces. Eight of the nine most recent goals they have conceded in all competitions, including each of the past seven, have come from dead-ball situations: four corners, two throw-ins, one penalty and a direct free kick.
In the Premier League this season, 60% of their goals conceded are from set-pieces – the highest proportion in the division prior to the latest round of matches.
A favoured fixture for Fulham
A third successive win last weekend propelled Fulham into the top half of the table for the first time in three months. They're vying to equal the club record of four Premier League victories in a row, set three years ago.
Marco Silva's side have made the most of a run of fixtures against teams struggling near the bottom and will now look to prolong Palace's misery, both of late and in this specific fixture.
Fulham have two wins and two draws from their last four away league games against the Eagles, all without conceding a goal. They've never kept five successive clean sheets away to the same club in their league history.
Furthermore, Palace's late winner in December's reverse fixture means the away team is unbeaten in each of the past nine Premier League meetings between the sides since the Eagles triumphed 2-0 at Selhurst Park in February 2019.
In total, 80% of their Premier League encounters overall have ended in an away win or draw, the joint-second highest figure among fixtures to have been played at least 15 times.

A normal Premier League season may run from August to May, but what happens if we stop the table now? What if it was only what happened in 2025 that counted?
With the calendar flicking over to 2026, this is the ideal time to check back on which teams have had an enjoyable 12 months and see who had a year to forget.
The top five is an accurate reflection of this season's top five (although it should be noted not all teams have played the same number of games).
Arsenal have led the way this campaign and, after coming up short last season, they will be striving to go one better to finally secure an elusive first Premier League trophy since 2004.
If looking just at the past 12 months, the title would be theirs, despite a number of draws early in 2025.
Having gone through their worst run of form under Pep Guardiola late in 2024 and early into 2025, alongside their initial poor start to this season, it may be surprising to find Manchester City so close at the top.
But a feature of this City side under Guardiola is their ability to recover from less than impressive starts and go on winning streaks - they are currently on a run of six wins in the league.
Aston Villa fans can look also back fondly on 2025, having experienced the return of Champions League football, secured more European football again this term and found themselves in a battle for the Premier League trophy.
They may have had a slow start this season but their general consistency in 2025 and a club record-equalling run of 11 straight wins in the final weeks catapults them into the top three.
Having won the title with ease last season, Liverpool fans can still revel in that achievement. But a drop-off at the end of 2024-25 and a poor run this time around leaves them fourth for the year.
Meanwhile, Chelsea made progress in 2025 under Enzo Maresca, with Champions League football and two bits of silverware, but a lack of consistency in a young team prevents them ascending higher than fifth.
When looking at the next five, there are perhaps some surprises.
With their FA Cup win, 2025 will go down in Crystal Palace's history, and their Premier League form has not been too shabby either as they compete with the teams that have occupied Champions League spots in recent seasons.
No Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo or Yoane Wissa? No problem for Brentford. They may have had a summer of upheaval but that has not stopped the Bees buzzing as they continue to perform above expectations.
After a few years of struggles on and off the pitch, 2025 seems to be the one Everton fans can finally start to look up rather than down with the new stadium and return of David Moyes bringing much-needed stability.
Newcastle may have had a few ups and downs, but they have come good when needed and hold their own in the top six, while Brighton continue to establish themselves firmly in the top 10.
Find out how the bottom half of the table shapes up on the post below
Now, what about those who may have had a less enjoyable 2025?
Manchester United continue to try to find their feet under Ruben Amorim. And while there have been glimmers of progress in recent weeks, a torrid first half of the year has left them with much room for improvement (and a draw with Wolves to end 2025 only added to the questions).
Bournemouth and Fulham both seem to have found consistency in their ability to be inconsistent.
There have been bursts of form from both, but also bouts of disappointment they might rather forget.
As for Nottingham Forest, 2025 may have been the year they returned to Europe for the first time in nearly three decades, but when it came to results in the league, particularly this season, it has been more of one to forget.
Under their third head coach of the season, they will hope 2026 does not bring the return of Championship football.
Like Forest, Tottenham's 12 months has been memorable for both the good and the bad.
A first trophy in 17 years was secured in the Europa League, but it has been far from impressive in the Premier League, managing just 11 wins from 37 matches and some pressure already building on boss Thomas Frank.
One of the most notable things about the bottom end of the calendar year table is the presence of all three promoted teams, despite two of the three having played a game less than the relegated clubs of last season.
With Leeds nine points better off and Sunderland 17, it highlights the disparity in how well this year's promoted sides have done in comparison to the previous three.
For the Black Cats, it has been a dream return to the top flight, including a recent win over Tyne-Wear rivals Newcastle, and in this season's table they find themselves just two points off fifth.
After overcoming a difficult patch, Leeds are also enjoying their return to the top table, slowly pulling themselves away from the danger spots.
It has been more of a struggle for Scott Parker's Burnley, but they will not lose hope with still half a campaign to go.
After recent successes with European football, domestically things have become a harder watch for West Ham supporters as they struggle to find the balance between good football and much-needed results
Then there is Wolves - and fans may want to look away.
Despite playing 20 Premier League games more, the West Midlands side accumulated only one point more than Sunderland across the year.
A win this term still eludes them and safety in 2026 appears a distant dream.
Check out how the top half of the table looked in the post above
Crystal Palace have lost three league games in a row, while Fulham have won three in a row.
It's not long since I was concerned Fulham could be getting dragged into a relegation scrap, but they are looking up the table now and are level on points with the Eagles after moving into the top half.
I watched Palace's defeat against Tottenham on Sunday and they just looked exhausted, but they still created some chances and were unlucky not to take something from the game.
You would go with Fulham again here on form, but I actually think Palace will deal with them much better than West Ham did.
The Eagles could do with getting a break - as in a mid-season break - but they just need a bit of luck in front of goal too and they will be back to winning ways.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
