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.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Newcastle have another corner, this time from the right side. Burn is the man to rise highest and meet the delivery with a header but it flies over the bar and off target.

Coleman, under pressure, puts the ball out for a Newcastle corner - but the set-piece comes to nothing.

Guimaraes has another effort. The Brazilian receives a pass at the edge of the area once again - very much his territory - before coming inside on his left side and firing an effort that glances just wide of Pickford's left post.

Pickford makes another save from close range after a searching ball to the back post from Murphy out on the right side. Newcastle smell blood, here, and are pushing to double their advantage before breaking for half-time.

Newcastle very much have the wind in their sails. Everton need to be careful this doesn't get out of hand.
Newcastle United vs Everton
CHANCE! Newcastle break again. A quick move cuts through Everton like a knife through hot butter and the move culminates with Trippier finding Guimaraes at the edge of the area. The Brazilian's effort on goal, however, whistles just wide of the far post.
