Match Preview
Everton travel to the northeast to take on Newcastle, and the Blues get to play away from Hill Dickinson Stadium where they’ve looked a much more compact and better side.
Monday night’s defeat against Manchester United at home was particularly galling because the Blues were actually pretty good, but just didn’t create enough proper chances to get the game won.
Hosts Newcastle are going through a rough phase, with four defeats in their last five games and actually sit two spots and one point behind
the Blues in the league table.
Carlos Alcaraz is the only other player out aside from Jack Grealish who underwent surgery and will miss the rest of the season. For the Magpies, Emil Krafth, Bruno Guimaraes, Fabian Schar, Tino Livramento and Lewis Miley are all out, with Jacob Ramsey facing a late fitness test for a hamstring ailment.

Last Meeting
The Magpies had preyed on the Blues’ home woes to win 4-1 in the first leg of this tie late in November. The Toffees last visit to St. James’ Park was a 1-0 win on the last day of the previous season, Charly Alcaraz’ winner looked like it had knocked the stunned hosts out of the Champions League before Aston Villa lost the plot elsewhere.
