Team News
Everton
Newcastle
- Darron Gibson returned to action in the cup defeat to Fulham but is likely to be replaced by Gareth Barry, who is set to make his 500th Premier League appearance.
- Pienaar, Alcaraz and Kone are all nearing full fitness but could continue to miss out while Leon Osman is also a doubt after picking up a groin injury at West Ham.
- Romelu Lukaku is in competition to start with Nikica Jelavic but played in a weakened side in midweek so he could be rested.
- Yohan Cabaye should be fit having overcome a minor groin injury but Gutierrez and Ameobi remain doubtful having missed the cup action in midweek.
- Steven Taylor is still sidelined, leaving the centre-back pairing of Coloccini and Yanga-Mbiwa intact.
- Cheick Tiote lost his place in the side against Hull but after that defeat he will hope to return in place of Vurnon Anita.
Lol at Mourinho...Lukaku failed at the supercup, yes, but he's a young powerful agressive striker, he can only get better...while Torres and Eto'o are clearly in decline form.
Mourinho was definitively stupid with Lukaku..
got a feeling Newcastle might take this one 1-0, goal from cisse!
Which everton is better? Under martinez? Under moyes? Interesting......��
ahaha just thought bout Steven Gerrard
Everton win
Everton wins 2 - 1
I do not think that there will be an easy win Everton are likely to take Newcastle +1
@Messy:gerard deulofeu mate
