The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Everton host Newcastle United on Thursday evening with both clubs struggling against adversity right now: the Toffees due to a points deduction which leaves them in the relegation zone and the Magpies facing an injury crisis, with goalkeeper Nick Pope the latest long-term absentee.
Victory for the hosts tonight will see them move out of the bottom three, while Eddie Howe’s side will be looking to go back up to fifth if they manage a third straight league victory. They’ve only won once on the road this term though, while Sean Dyche’s men have also only won once at home.

Newcastle enjoy a spell of possession and pressure now as Tarkowski shanks a clearance out for a Newcastle corner. Trippier takes and it's goes short. The ball is eventually delivered into the penalty area by Gordon, but Branthwaite is able to clear the danger.

Gordon has another opportunity to test Pickford after some excellent work from Isak. Gordon bursts through the middle of the pitch and unleashes from range, but his shot flies over the bar and out for a goal-kick. The former Everton winger has found things difficult at Goodison Park.

Another opportunity for Calvert-Lewin as he gets his head on the ball from a corner, but it hits Schar and bounces behind. However, the referee has spotted a foul in the mix somewhere and Newcastle are awarded a free-kick.

Gordon has to do better! Tarkowski has control of the ball outside the Everton penalty area and Gordon pounces on knicking the ball as he closes in on the box. He strikes it from the edge of the area, but it's straight at Pickford. He should have scored from there!

Dubravka is down after colliding with McNeil and the referee awards Newcastle with a free-kick. The last thing Howe needs is another injury, especially to his goalkeeper with Pope on the treatment table. However, he will be okay to continue.

Gordon cuts inside off the left and lays the ball into the path of Miley. The Newcastle youngster takes aim and looks to test Pickford from range, but the ball whistles over the bar and out for a goal-kick. The Magpies have been reduced to shots from outside the box, with Everton defending well.

Mykolenko drags Almiron to the floor inside the Everton half and then proceeds to kick the ball away. The referee opts to just give him a talking-to and doesn't produce a yellow card. The left-back might consider himself a little lucky.

The Toffees have started the second half on the front foot, just like they did in the opening 45 minutes. Everton have touched the ball inside Newcastle's box seven times since the break, with the Magpies spending more time defending than attacking.
