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: PickfordO’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.

      If Salah is back to the 'basic' tomorrow, that could be the difference ...

    MUN make every shite team look like a champion

    The real United showing everyone how you beat Everton.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Honestly this game can be played after a week and there is a good chance Everton emerge victorious. Sometimes games like this happen for whatever reason

      1. wiseguy
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Can I get a do over then? I punted Ndiaye on FH because I was led to believe Newcastle were bad away 🙁

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 7 days ago

          Newcastle are much better with those natural fullbacks available. Hall and Livra

    Barry LOL

    1. tutankamun

      Surely disallowed?

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Is that a handball?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

      No goal

  12. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    seems harsh barnes can stop a certain goal with his arm (in an natural position) but barry goals cant stand because it hit an arm in natural position

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      *goal

    Whenever the likes of DCL, Barry, Sesko, Beto, etc. Score I can’t help but feel happy for them

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      In a patronising kind of way

      1. Baps Hunter

        Dies it matter?

    No goal

  15. nanxun

    Barry. Very Barry-like (non-) goal.

  16. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    I wish Hall was more nailed.

    I might end up going back to Woltemade.

    Wolte > Thiago this week.
    Welbeck > Wolte in coming weeks perhaps!

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      In saying that, fixtures are still a bit of a mixed bag for New castle over the coming weeks.

      Midfield is tricky now. Feel like I have a lot of mediocrity in Semenyo, Gakpo and (still!) Reijnders. Mbeumo will need replacement soon.

      Nobody jumps out though. Might just go for a solid Rice for Reijnders next week.

  17. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Botched the header (onto his arm), then shins the ball into the left of the goal. Hilarious.

  18. Yes Ndidi
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    There must be a dozen or more Barrys you'd rather have up top than this one. Who did they think they were buying?

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 7 days ago

      Perhaps he told them he's got so much to give.

      1. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Barry White reference in case anyone's wondering.

  19. tutankamun

    KDH

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years

      2nd on my bench but happy he ruined the CS

  21. Defcons are for Kinnear

    4-1 KDH

    Both defences are terrible

    1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Both England goalkeepers are terrible.

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    that is some touch by kdb wow

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      *kdh ofc 🙂

      1. tutankamun
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Was KDB-esque

    2. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 7 days ago

      to be fair, if it was kdb, we'd still be saying it was some touch. Lovely goal, and once again a cleanie wiped that could have caused me issues in my ML

  23. brianutd-why always we? 20

    Good lad KDH

  24. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

    Livramento CS robbed. Was meant to come off. Haha.

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    at least keane got to his 10 defcon

  26. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    When will I learn not to bench KDH

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 7 days ago

      3 times in a row for me. Didn't consider playing him for a single second in any of those.

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 7 days ago

        Same here though I got lucky last week with Semenyo not starting

  27. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    3 attacking returns in a row for the kdh

  28. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    Can't blame Ramsdale for this goal. He needs to hoover one in, just in order to get Pope fit for next match.

  29. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 7 days ago

    May be I just need to park KDH on the bench as fifth attacker. He's only 0.4m more expensive than shambolic King and pops with good returns every now and then.

  30. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

    Grealish second worst player right after Pickfour.
