The games are coming thick-and-fast for Newcastle United as they prepare for yet another testing Premier League challenge.
Just five days after their win against Manchester United, Newcastle face a trip to Goodison Park to face Everton as they search for a third Premier League win in a row.
The Toffees beat Nottingham Forest at the weekend - a good reaction after being defeated 3-0 by the Red Devils on their home turf in their previous outing.
Newcastle will head to Goodison Park with a host of injury problems and yet more headaches for Eddie Howe to contend with after Nick Pope’s injury at the weekend.
Here, we take a look at the Newcastle United starting XI that Howe could name for the trip to Goodison Park:
5. LB: Tino Livramento

7. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
Newcastle United’s injury crisis has afforded Guimaraes the opportunity to shine and show his class in the middle of the park. The Brazilian has always been a key player since his arrival, but his great quality has really come to the fore in recent games. | Getty Images
8. CM: Joelinton
Joelinton scored in this fixture last season, a match that came just four days after he also netted in the demolition of Spurs. Joelinton’s physicality will be needed at Goodison Park this week. | AFP via Getty Images
