Crystal Palace vs Newcastle: How Storm Boelo could affect fans as weather warning issued

Crystal Palace host Newcastle United in Premier League action this weekend as both sides look to find form under struggling managers.

Palace have won just two of their first seven Premier League games of the campaign under Pierre Sage.

The Frenchman is already facing real pressure from their fans to turn things around, and could be sacked if their poor form continues following a damaging 5-0 loss to rivals Brighton last weekend.

Matthias Jaissle's position as Newcastle manager seems no safer right now, with the Tyneside club sat just three places and one point ahead of their opponents this weekend.

The trip to Selhurst Park provides the Magpies with the chance to end their two-game losing streak, but some fans may struggle to be in attendance.

Storm Boelo will hit the UK this weekend, and supporters heading south to the capital must be aware of the dangers it could bring.

Newcastle's trip to South London impacted by UK weather warnings

Boelo is predicted to hit the UK on Saturday, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to large parts of the country, which will affect Newcastle supporters.

Magpies fans must consider the disruption to their travel plans both to and from the Palace game, with kick-off set for 2pm on Sunday.

The Met Office have issued a yellow weather warning for the whole of Scotland and northern parts of England, which lasts from 6pm on Saturday evening to 9pm on Sunday night.

Boelo is set to disrupt large parts of northern UK, with travel set to be affected as longer journey times could well be possible due to potential closed roads and bridges.

Damage to buildings from flying debris due to the wind is also something to be aware of, while affected areas may suffer from widespread power cuts.

Sage and Jaissle among bookies' leading contenders for next PL manager sacked

Sunday's clash may prove to be the last for either boss in their respective roles as the pressure ramps up at Selhurst and St James' Park.

Man United's Michael Carrick is the clear favourite among the bookmakers to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job, but both Sage and Jaissle are also leading contenders.

The Palace man comes in as the general second-favourite and is as short as 5/2 to be the first boss to be sacked in the top flight this season.

Jaissle is the fifth-favourite with most bookies, with one site pricing him at 12/1 ahead of Sunday's game.
