Newcastle is dealing with a smorgasbord of injury absences as relegation-threatened Everton comes to town
Eddie Howe will have redemption on the brain when Newcastle hosts Everton in a midweek Premier League clash, desperate to avenge his side’s 3-0 loss to the same opponent back in December. Sean Dyche led the Toffees to a surprisingly one-sided win over the Magpies when the teams faced off at Goodison Park shortly before Christmas thanks to three goals in the last 15 minutes from Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Beto. Speaking of comebacks, Newcastle is in the mood for a comeback after a late spree of goals at home to West Ham clinched a dramatic 4-3 win on Saturday.

Howe had his nerves tested after falling 3-1 down to the Hammers at St. James’ Park, which had Newcastle on course for a third loss in as many outings.
That was before an Alexander Isak penalty combined with two late goals from substitute Harvey Barnes completed the revival and instantly marked one of the best games of the season to date:
Anthony Gordon’s red card in the dying minutes of that match means he won’t be available on Tuesday, adding to Newcastle’s considerable squad concerns.
Howe is already contending with a stacked treatment table that includes Callum Wilson, Joelinton, Kieran Trippier, Lewis Miley and Sven Botman.
That was prior to Saturday’s match, which saw Miguel Almiron, Jamal Lascelles and Tino Livramento each suffer injuries, too.
As such, Dan Burn will be expected to line up in central defense, while Lewis Hall and Emil Krafth should come into the full-back positions in what will be a very experimental back line.
Dyche and Everton won’t get a better opportunity to land an upset at St. James’ given they have no new concerns, still hoping to land their first Premier League win of 2024.
Regional restrictions may apply.
