The penultimate Premier League match of the day sees Everton play host to Newcastle United.

Kick-off at the Hill Dickinson Stadium is at 17:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Eddie Howe’s decision over which goalkeeper to start has been made easier for him thanks to injury.

Nick Pope misses out, so in comes Aaron Ramsdale for his first league start.

Compared to Gameweek 12, Sandro Tonali, Fabian Schar and Jacob Murphy also drop out of the side as Lewis Miley, Dan Burn and Anthony Elanga step up to the starting XI.

Burn is back from a one-match ban.

Having returned from injury as a false nine in Marseille, Anthony Gordon is only among the substitutes.

Everton’s two changes are both enforced, thanks to suspension and injury.

Tim Iroegbunam and Jake O’Brien come into the starting line-up for the absent Idrissa Gueye and Seamus Coleman.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Garner, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry.

Subs: Travers, King, McNeil, Beto, Dibling, Alcaraz, Aznou, Welch, Campbell.

Newcastle United XI: Ramsdale, Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, Hall, Guimaraes, Miley, Joelinton, Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes.

Subs: Ruddy, Schar, Tonali, Gordon, J.Murphy, Willock, A.Murphy, Ramsey, Neave.

    Interested to hear if other people find this or just me? Probably a sign I need a break from the game. I hear people say FPL enhances their enjoyment of the football but I find the opposite happens a lot e.g. Leeds 2 goals today. I just know if I wasn't playing fpl, admitedly with City cleans on the line I'd be enjoying that game and the comeback and then the late drama. Full disclosure its a Haaland TC blank too in that game so maybe I was just extra fed up. I do find it a lot though, probably 50/50 between enhancing the enjoyment slightly and hating the football.

            Sorry fat fingers on the phone. Self doubt, taking bad outcomes as being another sign of me being bad at life etc... i know its just a game deep down, no control of outcomes etc but when you get caught up in it you lose that rationality. I do think its quite similar to the gambling in some ways though

            Sorry mate, your problem isn't this game, it's your attitude. Think about this as fishing. If you are furios because of not getting any or big ones, it's not your hobby. The idea is to enjoy the nature, silence, and being lucky sometimes. Low your expectations, enjoy the process. Whether fishing or playing fpl, luck will determine huge part of the result. Don't you ever play chess or start painting.
