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.

Everton vs Newcastle United
Chance for the Magpies! Joelinton backheels it into the path of Trippier who sends a cross into the box. Isak gets between the Everton centre-backs and looks to guide his header into the bottom corner. Pickford scrambles across his line, but it whistles past the post.
Everton vs Newcastle United
Big chance for Everton! The Toffees press well to win the ball back and Harrison drives at the Newcastle defence. He has McNeil to his right and he finds him inside the box. McNeil looks to catch Dubravka out by rolling a shot into the corner, but it goes wide of the post. He didn't strike it with a lot of conviction.

From the resulting free-kick, Trippier pumps the ball into the box. It's headed away by Branthwaite but only as far as Almiron and the Newcastle winger strikes it on the volley. Fortunately for Pickford in goal, it flies over the bar and out for a goal-kick.
Everton vs Newcastle United
Gueye makes yet another foul as he sends Gordon to the ground. This time, the referee gives him a talking-to, but he's still yet to produce a yellow card in this game. The Everton midfielder will have to tread carefully as the officials are onto him.

Trippier breaks forward and is caught late by Gueye in the middle of the pitch. The referee quickly awards a free-kick, and Gueye might count himself a little lucky not to have gone into the book there. The Everton midfielder was nowhere near the ball, and it's not his first foul either.
Everton vs Newcastle United
Everton have already managed 11 shots so far in this game, but have only hit the target twice. The Toffees have touched the ball 20 times in the opposition box, with Newcastle managing to do the same just once. Dyche will be pleased with how his side have started this one.

Another opportunity for the Toffees! This time McNeil gets on the end of a wayward shot from Doucoure and sends a powerful delivery into the box. Calvert-Lewin is there once again, but his header is straight into the arms of Dubravka. He should be doing better from there.
Everton vs Newcastle United
Chance for Everton now as Harrison gets to the byline and floats a cross towards the back post. Calvert-Lewin rises highest, but Trippier does enough to put him off and the forward headers over the bar and out for a goal-kick.
Everton vs Newcastle United
Almiron has to do better! Joelinton turns in the middle of the pitch and slips the ball to Almiron on the right-hand side who is left one-on-one with Pickford. However, his shot is tame and the Everton goalkeeper can comfortably gather.
