Two football clubs punching beneath their weight are about to come together with new hope stirring in their breast.
Newcastle United resume their Premier League survival battle buoyed by five new signings at a cost of £90m while Everton, another club with distinguished history, spent deadline day ushering in a trio of massive names - Frank Lampard at the helm with Donny van de Beek and Dele Alli in the dressing-room.
Both clubs wish to put their recent past behind them. United's record we know only too well - two victories, two clean sheets etc. However Everton are almost as bad.
