STREAM LIVE NEWCASTLE v EVERTON
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle got a huge win against Leeds before the break and they have had a full two weeks to rest and recover. They have also signed Matt Targett, Dan Burn and Bruno Guimares to add real quality and experience to their squad, as most are backing the Magpies to get out of trouble in the second half of the season. They still sit on 15 points, which leaves them 19th in the table, but they’re just one point from getting out of the relegation zone. However, the pressure is now on as Newcastle spent more than any other club in January and they must pull clear of the bottom three. Howe took Newcastle to Saudi Arabia on a midseason break and will be hoping that all of that work on the training ground pays off.
Everton are on 19 points, as new manager Frank Lampard got off to a winning start in charge at Goodison in the FA Cup as the Toffees hammered Brentford. But this is where the hard work really starts for Lampard. Like Newcastle, Everton have quality in attack but have to shore things up defensively and Lampard hasn’t excelled defensively as a coach during his first few managerial jobs. Hitting the ground running will be so important for him at Everton.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Newcastle vs Everton.
