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.

Almiron turns well as he looks to take on Mykolenko, but the Everton defender pulls him back and Newcastle are awarded a free-kick just inside Everton's half. The Magpies opt to play it short as they try to find a way through, but Dyche's side have been resolute at the back so far.

Livramento drives through the Everton midfield and Gueye clatters into him, with the referee awarding a free-kick to Newcastle on the edge of the penalty area. Trippier is standing over it and will likely be shooting from here. He strikes it, but it's straight at Pickford who holds well.

Everton have enjoyed an impressive start to this game and have managed six shots already, with Newcastle yet to test Pickford between the sticks. Howe's side are dominating the possession and have had 65.6 per cent of the ball, but they're yet to find a breakthrough.

The Toffees win a corner after Livramento flung himself in front of a shot from Young. McNeil delivers towards the back post and Branthwaite rises highest, but he can't divert his header on target. Tarkowski then tries a speculative effort from range, but it doesn't test Dubravka in the goal.

Strong boos can be heard from the Everton faithful every time former player Gordon gets on the ball. Doucuore upends the Newcastle winger and a free-kick is awarded, much to the amusement of the fans at Goodison Park.

Meanwhile, Howe has made just one alteration from Newcastle's win over Manchester United last week. Nick Pope has been ruled out for a number of months due to picking up a shoulder injury, so Dubravka comes into the starting XI.

Dyche has made two changes from the side that beat Nottingham Forest on the road last week. James Garner misses the game due to illness and will be replaced by Coleman, who makes his first appearance of the season. Calvert-Lewin comes back into the team after missing the Forest game, with Beto dropping to the bench.
