Newcastle United host Everton as they look to record their fourth victory of the Premier League season.
It’s been a positive start to the campaign for Eddie Howe’s side, who sit sixth in the table with 15 points from the opening 10 games.
United have lost just once but if there is a small criticism, it is Howe’s men have already drawn six matches - the highest in the division.
The likes of Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have sat deep and frustrated Newcastle on Tyneside. Everton, tonight, are expected to do the same, so nited must rise to the challenge.
With this the club’s second fixture of a three-game week - the goalless draw at Manchester United was just three days ago - Howe may look to freshen up his line-up for the visit of the Toffees.
And we’re predicting Howe to name two changes in our starting XI gallery below:
United have lost just once but if there is a small criticism, it is Howe’s men have already drawn six matches - the highest in the division.
5. LB: Matt Targett (in for Dan Burn)
United will need to utilise their full-backs to break down the Everton defence. But for how good Dan Burn has been, Targett provides a little more going forward.
6. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
Newcastle will be hoping for a repeat of his previous St James’ Park appearance after he scored a brace against Brentford - and ran the show.
7. CM: Joelinton
Joelinton’s physicality will be important against a physical Everton side.
8. CM: Sean Longstaff
Longstaff’s energy and miles covered in the midfield was key to Newcastle earning a point at Old Trafford on Sunday.
