Assists in defeat
Miley assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Miley provided one assist during Sunday's loss. The midfielder set up Will Osula for the only goal during the disappointing loss. Miley took a single corner and sent in only three crosses, disappointing volume despite the assist. Without more volume it's hard to trust Miley as a consistent option in most formats.
Back fit, available against Palace
Miley (leg) returned to full team training and is available for Sunday's clash against Crystal Palace, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Everyone else, I think we are good."
Analysis: Miley had been managing a dead leg that kept him out since late January, but the additional time during the break has clearly done the job in getting him back to full fitness. The versatile midfielder figures to be eased back into action gradually rather than being thrown straight into a starting role, but his return adds a useful option for coach Howe as Newcastle head into the final stretch of a season with plenty still to play for.
