Newcastle United will be hoping to bounce back from their first Premier League defeat in 2022 when they travel to relegation rivals Everton. The Magpies nine-match unbeaten run in the top-flight came to an end on Sunday following a controversial defeat at Chelsea.
Eddie Howe's side remain nine points clear of the relegation zone, and will be hoping to add to this cushion on Thursday night at Goodison Park. United recorded a morale-boosting victory in the reverse fixture last month, and Everton sit outside of the relegation zone on goal difference following a home defeat to Wolves.
The Magpies head coach was forced into a late reshuffle in the capital with illness ruling out both Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Willock. Joelinton again missed out with a long-standing groin complaint, meaning Howe only had Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff in midfield at his disposal.
