Team News
Newcastle
Everton
- Newcastle announced on Wednesday that Demba Ba has been given permission to talk to Chelsea and will therefore not be included in the squad for this game. Papiss Demba Cisse could lead the line on his own, with Ferguson playing wide, or Shola Ameobi could come in and play alongside Cisse.
- At the back, they will be glad to have Williamson returning from suspension at the heart of their defence having shipped 7 goals at the Emirates.
- Otherwise the Magpies will probably remain unchanged, with little other options.
- Steven Pienaar (dead leg) and Leighton Beines (ankle) are both very doubtful for the game at St James' Park, so Bryan Oviedo will probably be needed in either of those positions, while Anichebe could play on the left if necessary, after being deployed there for much of the game against Chelsea.
- Everton have Marouane Fellaini back after suspension, and he should start in behind Nikica Jelavic up front, with Victor Anichebe likely to drop to the bench.
- With Tony Hibbert out and both Phil Neville and Seamus Coleman doubtful, Jagielka could play at right-back again.
Fellaini is back! So Everton will win, 1-2
Will be interesting if neither baines or pienaar play, but it's not exactly like obertan is that much of a threat. Everton to win comfortably
draw...
Tim Krul assist? Nice.
