Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has given a fitness update ahead of Thursday night’s clash with Everton. A crucial home match for the Blues, Howe has admitted he still has injury doubts over two of his key players.
The match at Goodison will give Everton the chance to put some distance between themselves and the bottom three, with the club currently out of the relegation zone due to goal difference. Having fallen to a 1-0 defeat to Wolves on Sunday , Frank Lampard’s side have an almost immediate opportunity to make amends with a win over Newcastle.
Though the Magpies have followed a slightly different trajectory since the two clubs last met in February . Prior to last weekend’s defeat to Chelsea, Newcastle had won six and drawn one across their last seven games and have risen to 14th in the table after being early candidates for relegation.
