Team News

Everton
  • Both Darron Gibson and Steven Pienaar missed international duty with their respective nations and are doubts ahead of this weekend, with the latter more likely to feature.
  • Hibbert will come in for Neville at right-back after the defeat at West Brom, while new signings Mirallas and Oviedo will compete for places out wide, with the latter in line for a debut if Pienaar isn't able to recover.
  • Elsewhere the starting XI is likely to remain unchanged, with Distin and Jagielka continuing to be favoured over Heitinga at the back.
Newcastle United
  • Alan Pardew has confirmed that injuries to Krul and Coloccini on international duty mean that both will be unavailable for Monday night's game, with Harper and Williamson set to deputise.
  • James Perch is also a doubt with a muscle injury, and while Cheik Tiote is nearing full fitness Pardew has hinted that he will not risk the midfielder.
  • With Danny Simpson out the manager may have a mini defensive crisis on his hands this week, hoping that Perch is fit to fill in otherwise Gutierrez may have to play left-back, with Santon moving to the right.

Prediction

  • Everton have won 4 of their last 6 home fixtures against Newcastle, losing just once, and with the visitors injury problems ahead of Monday night's game they will surely be favourites once again.
  • Saying that, there has rarely been much between the two sides in recent encounters and Pardew may look to make this a tight game as he will undoubtedly be more happy with a point away at Goodison Park.
  • The Magpies have looked weaker without Tiote in recent weeks, so if he is fit that will be a boost, but Everton should have just too much in front of their home crowd.

    I thought it could be a thrashing at half time, but good job from newcastle to come back and get a draw. The referees were great until the Fellaini "goal". Everton will be disappointed not to have gotten a result. btw, does anyone know who sent the good long ball for ameobi to head it and ba to score?

    Nice comment Kybler. Baines and Fellaini could play in any of the top teams. Fellaini would do damage in Man Utd.

    Everton were robbed, poor officials. Everton has got a strong squad with Fellaini, Jagielka, Baines and Jelavic, if they can hold on to their players and try to build the squad around them, they can go places! Fellaini is exceptional, to have a center mid who is tall, strong, fast and has got immense ball control and vision is a huge plus. Baines is also one of the best left backs around, very underrated. Everton's tribute to the 96 was classy, their fans are amazing! (Considering the rivalry between Liverpool and Everton)
