Newcastle United vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from St. James' Park
Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Everton in the Premier League today.
The Magpies are up to sixth and are five unbeaten, including a goalless draw with Man United at the weekend. They have only lose once in the top flight this term, the same as the top three, but injuries in attack have hampered them somewhat at times. Alexander Isak is out for the coming weeks after signing this summer.
Everton had just started to find a bit of form themselves but two defeats recently leave them 14th in the table. Goals have still been a problem with the Toffees netting eight in 10 matches this season. Everton have drawn four times this term, with Newcastle drawing six - more than any other team, with the Toffees joint-second in that regard.

CHANCE! Murphy picks up the ball on the left flank and comes inside on his right foot, driving past a couple of opponents before unleashing an attempt on goal. It fails to work Pickford but it does fly only just wide and high or the top right corner of the net.
