Everton are aiming to continue their winning ways and back up a first Premier League victory of the season when they host Newcastle United at Goodison Park for Saturday’s late kick off.
Sean Dyche’s side have competed well in most of their five matches this term but have repeatedly slipped to annoying defeats before their win over Crystal Palace. Dwight McNeil scored twice as the Toffees came from behind to triumph 2-1 and move out of the relegation zone.
As for their opponents, Newcastle will prove to be a sterner test following a decent start to the campaign. Eddie Howe’s men earned an impressive point against Manchester City in their last league outing and edged past AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup. Newcastle come into the match with 11 points from six games and started the weekend just four points behind the leaders Liverpool.
After a Champions League campaign last year, the Magpies will have hopes of securing a European place this season and three points after from home will only help their chances.

The Everton supporters aren’t happy.

26 mins: Gordon’s pace is causing a lot of problems for Everton’s defence. He’s quick and accurate and it feels like a matter of time before he breaks down his old team.

Everton 0-0 Newcastle
22 mins: Anthony Gordon is being jeered each time he gets a touch. The former Everton striker is the driving force behind Newcastle’s attack today but doesn’t have the strongest record against his old club.

A perfect run from Abdulaye Doucoure sees him nip around the back of the Newcastle defence as James Garner sweeps in a cross. He meets it and beats Nick Pope only for VAR to find that he was offside.
Heart-breaking for Everton.

Everton 0-0 Newcastle
Ashley Young slides a pass down the line and picks out Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He dances inside and skips away from Newcastle’s slow centre-backs.
The forward takes the ball to the edge of the box and shoots but hits the ball straight at Nick Pope who keeps it out.

12 mins: There’s was a collective intake of breath after Jordan Pickford missed Bruno Guimaraes’ shot. The fact that Newcastle aren’t ahead yet is massive for the Everton supporters but they are less vocal.
That change in atmosphere could have an effect on the home side.
