Everton vs Newcastle United: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch

Gueye is obviously missing from the squad which is gradually being chipped away. We are still defending very well and, apart from the Spurs game, we have done suprisingly well. Pickford must be worth 10 to 12 points a season to us.

They will be getting desperate for 3 points and therefore up for this game, it will be all hands on deck, I expect.

A hopeful 3 points from me but I'm expecting a tight game..

Would that be the new delicious mouth-watering Triple Loaded Sausage Roll that we can buy on Saturday at the Dockyard Kitchen, Upper North Stand (towards West), also available on the upper tier?

They will shorten your life by a year or two.

Wouldn't they both want to be chasing a place in their respective squads for the World Cup? The sooner both are fit and healthy, the better for all concerned.

It would be nice for us overseas supporters to have somewhere to easily find that info.

I assume it gives only the channels you can receive in your stated location as it only shows K+ (Viet Nam) for me when I click on the match despite there also being Astro and others I can't see on the fixtures page.

And my local channel K+ only has Vietnamese commentary so I could do with another source.

And I was not able to paste the url into this comment box, I had to select the already written text and paste over that, then re-type.

We're blessed in the US with Peacock/NBC for I think $9.99 a month for all games.

He's looking for more from Grealish.

Red card was appealed but that was turned down. No reason given.

Very happy with the progress Harrison Armstrong is making at Preston, who won't want Everton to take him back just yet.

If he doesn't come back in January, I think we've got a problem.

Short in midfield going into busy period. A bit of a worry.

It's disappointing that the club didn't simply appeal to FIFA, quoting the Ronaldo precedent. Two of the three games out would have been immediately suspended for a year.

But Branthwaite is worrying: this is the second season on the run that he has missed a large number of games.

A big thank you to Keane for re-signing -- he has played an important part for Everton this season.

We need to go into the transfer market in January: a right-back, a striker... but I also think we need another midfield player.

I had tried since I emigrated in 1976 to get coverage of Everton, and I think it was the early 1991-92 before we started to get any Premier League coverage; to see Everton, they had to be playing Man Utd.

Last week, he said he had a minor hernia operation at the start of the international break, and will be out for 2/3 weeks, what's changed in a week?

Howe subbed him for not retaliating when Keane slapped him in the face. "Stand up for yourself!" said Howe... so Gordon smacked him.

Problem is midfield is where we're short; hopefully the Moyesiah will have a cunning plan!

I think this will be a good game of football between two, in my opinion, evenly matched teams.

Gordon started as centre-forward against Marseille which surprised me. Probably because Barnes is in such good form. I can't see him starting with the same line-up against us. It will be Woltermade at centre-forward and maybe Gordon on the bench.

Regardless, they have goals in them and they can compete physically so we will have to be at our best.

As for who replaces Gueye, the obvious choice is Iroegbunam but I have a gut feeling Moyes may surprise us by dropping Dewsbury-Hall deeper and starting Alcaraz. I hope so.

This would be my 4-2-3-1 starting 11:-

Pickford,
O'Brien*, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko
Garner, Dewsbury-Hall
Ndiaye, Alcaraz, Grealish
Barry.

*Big challenge for Jake in this one because they are very strong down their left flank. But he is a tough lad and we will need his areal ability at set pieces against this outfit.

Looking forward to this game with the same sort of nerves I used to feel before a game 60 years ago. If we win we are on our way.

"Looking forward to this game with the same sort of nerves I used to feel before a game 60 years ago."

60 years ago, it was almost certainly nerves. Now it's probably a mild form of incontinence.

This is not a game to start Alcaraz. I don't think he presses enough and why change Dewsbury-Hall from the position where he has been most effective by popular consensus for the last two games???

I personally believe he has been doing that job for most of the games which I watched but, in the last few games, he has become even more confident. I would make a simple switch: Tim for Gana. When Dewsbury-Hall tires after running his socks off, only then I would consider Alcaraz.

Taking my boy Joe to the game -- dad n' lad -- and hoping for the same result as the last one v Fulham.

Up the fucking Toffees! Come ON!!!

Even more worrying is Pawson is back as referee after recently messing things up for Everton against Spurs.

All you need to know about the corruption at the Premier League. They were clearly happy with Pawson's biased Spurs performance.

I think we'll miss Gana, can Tim step up. On limited minutes thus far, it's a tough ask. Will Moyes change the system to flood the midfield a bit more….

We must add a central midfielder in January, very exposed otherwise.

Interesting game today against difficult opponents. Plenty of quality in their side.

Then there is the added worry of today's match officials: Pawson to referee and England on VAR. Even Neil Warnock commented a while back that he definitely thought Pawson had something against Everton because the way he refereed a game which Warnock was commentating on. But seeing as Moyes broke his hoodoo at Man Utd lets also win today and keep Newcastle's dreadful away form going.

I do worry about how much we will miss Gueye today and it will be an even bigger worry when he and Ndiaye go off to the Afcon in 3 weeks.

Moyes has spoken about Dibling being ready to step into Ndiaye's role when he goes to the Afcon, seeing we have seen very little of Dibling, it's hard to see that happening.

In the 71 years I have been following, I can't remember a big-money signing having so little game time in their first 12 league games.

Newcastle played a cat-and-mouse game with City last week — gave them the freedom of two thirds of the pitch then hit them on the break to score their two goals and relied on their defence and goalkeeper, with a bit of luck, to keep City at bay.

So we will have to be very careful they don't do the same to us -- especially if O'Brien plays at full back. I hope Alcaraz, if he doesn't start, isn't left on the bench until the last 5 minutes.

We are at home, let's add another good performance to the Fulham game which has been the only game we have impressed in at Bramley-Moore Dock since we got there.

Neil # 27 - I agree, Tim is the obvious choice but I think one of them will be subbed for the other in the second half. Maybe Moyes will take this into account:-

As Pawson is reffing we really are up against it. He DOES have a thing against Everton, coupled with being a piss poor referee. Jack will get kicked all over the place and Pawson will turn a blind eye. We will be penalised and carded for minor infractions. The arab skunks will get away with murder.

Pawson WILL give them a pen. A shitty ball to hand. Or dive which breezes an Everton defenders sock.

Midfield has been one of our many weaknesses for years. Gaye is hit and mainly miss there. Garner isn't strong enough, unlike his role at RB. Sadly its going to fall on Tim whose starts have been mainly woeful.

So Obi at RB and Tim with Garner in CM is my predicted Moyes line up.

Even if Patty was fit, the club car park steward has more chance getting on than him. He's a bench warmer is all.

Two GKs will be on the bench YET AGAIN I am in no doubt.

Lets not be fooled by the hype. We were not the best team at Old Trafford. We were mauled. Not putting anything together especially 2nd half. Yes we were down to 10 and resolutely defended. But they were woeful in front of goal. They missed several glaringly open goals / sitters. Overall it was a fantastic win but Gaye was a disgrace and dropped the team right in it.

Newcastle have a number of players absent including our friend Trippier.

Woltemade (benched against Marseille) has 4 goals from 9 appearances and is likely to be recalled in my opinion. Barnes, the form guy for the sheiks isn't that good bit is clearly a danger too. Will the dodgy Pope or Ramsdale be between the sticks is anyone's guess.

Its going to be a roller coaster. Exasperation may well be the order of the day. We will win or lose this in midfield. Tim needs to get his game together. If ever there was a chance for Barry to sack the duck, this is the one. But team mates putting him in or creating chances for him to do so has been next to non existent.

We can win this.

Pawson is the worry.

After my hernia operation, I had some residual pain for at least 2 weeks afterwards. Being a fit athlete is no pariticular advantage. And when the pain disappears, he's got to get back to full fitness.

Mark @ 28, I hope your lad is both wearing a gas mask and will enjoy both fresh air and the match when you get there!
