Jones Knows: Travel sick Toon to lose again
Sky Sports' betting expert Lewis Jones:
"Newcastle are about as reliable away from home as a toddler walking past a puddle.
"Dating back to last season, Newcastle have no win in eight Premier League away games - their worst run since December 2021 - and across all competitions they have lost four on the spin away from home sweet St James' Park.
"The energy, the press, the sharpness, everything that has made Eddie Howe's team a Premier League force, all goes down a gear on their travels. They have looked leggy, stretched and noticeably flatter in defeats at West Ham and Brentford of late.
"And, this game is of course their third game in eight days, too. Everton will be licking their lips.
"Newcastle away from home have a problem and Everton at home are a problem for them - just like Brentford and West Ham were - and the price hasn't quite caught up that fact. The 7/4 on offer from Sky Bet for a home win looks the smart play."
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
Hello and welcome!
All eyes are on Newcastle tonight. They have a problem away from home which needs fixing. It's becoming a problem for Eddie Howe.
Everton isn't exactly an easy away day either, especially coming fresh after their extraordinary performance at Manchester United on Monday night.
We're in position to bring you all the fun - and of course we are LIVE across Sky Sports with the kick-off at 5.30pm.
Let's get down to business.
Moyes reveals Everton appealed Gueye red
David Moyes revealed Everton failed with an appeal against Idrissa Gueye’s red card for fighting with team-mate Michael Keane in Monday night’s 1-0 win over Man Utd.
Gueye saw red in more ways than one at Old Trafford, slapping Keane as they argued over a mis-placed pass before referee Tony Harrington sent off the veteran midfielder for violent conduct.
Gueye immediately apologised and it was all smiles during training this week as he and Keane staged a mock boxing match on social media, but the 36-year-old Senegal midfielder will still serve a three-match ban which leaves Everton shorthanded going into Saturday’s match against Newcastle.
“We have appealed it and our appeal was turned down,” Moyes said. “We haven’t been given any reason why it was turned down but we did appeal it.”
Asked if there had been any further fallout this week, Moyes added: “It was over immediately, it was done, that was it, we moved on quite quickly and it was all sorted within the dressing room.”
Will Howe opt for Pope or Ramsdale?
Newcastle team news: Trippier, Botman, Krafth, Osula updates
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe:
"Nothing major from the game [on Tuesday]. We'll have a good look at the lads today.
"Sven Botman has been nursing a bit of a back problem in the last few days. Apart from that, I think we're the same."
Kieran Trippier injury: "He had a scan on his hamstring. We think it's roughly around a month, give or take. Fingers crossed we can get him back quickly."
Emil Krafth's availability: "He came back from international duty with a knee issue. I don't think it's anything too serious. He had a scan which came back pretty good. This game is probably too soon for him."
Will Osula: "He's ok. He's been to see a specialist on Monday to get an update on his ankle. He's still feeling a little bit of pain even though all the scans have come back clear. We hope he will be pain-free and then we can build him up quickly."
Howe to 'make call' on whether Pope starts
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on potentially replacing Nick Pope with Aaron Ramsdale:
"All options are on the table for me. I need to think long and hard with the team selection about who I pick. I'll try and do that on merit. I get the luxury of seeing the players train every day, goalkeepers included, and I'll make my call."
What was Pope like after the game on Tuesday?
"Nick is vastly experienced. He's a very level character; you don't see huge highs or lows even when he plays really well and makes world-class saves on a regular basis, he's still very calm and relaxed and absorbs it all.
"I think that's one of the true hallmarks of any player in that kind of position, where you're there to be shot at, but you don't wear your emotions evidently for everyone to see.
"I discuss things with all my players on a regular basis. Nick's a top-class professional and he's an outstanding goalkeeper. We certainly back him, he's made a number of brilliant saves for us this season already."
Wissa trains with Newcastle for first time
Yoane Wissa has trained with Newcastle for the first time since joining the club in a £55m move from Brentford.
The striker has not featured due to a knee injury he sustained while on international duty with DR Congo in September.
But this week Wissa edged closer to making his debut for Newcastle.
"Yoane is doing well," said boss Eddie Howe. "He trained with us for the first time on Wednesday when we came back from Marseille.
"I was really pleased with how he looked. That was his first time competitively with the group. Let's see how he responds. Hopefully he'll train again today and we'll continue to build him up."
Howe, though, did not want to reveal the date they are targeting for Wissa's first appearance.
He said: "We've got one in mind, but it's probably best to keep it to myself, I don't want to disappoint anybody. We want to involve him as soon as possible but we want him to be able to perform."
