Newcastle United’s 4-3 win over West Ham on Saturday mean the Magpies will start tomorrow’s clash against Everton in 8th place in the Premier League and just a point behind the Hammers. A win against the Toffees would see Newcastle end their game in 7th place - but Eddie Howe faces a number of big dilemmas ahead of the match.
The win against West Ham came at a cost for the hosts as they lost Tino Livramento, Miguel Almiron and Jamaal Lascelles to injury. Livramento and Almiron are doubts for the game whilst Lascelles will be out for up to nine months after sustaining an ACL injury.
Anthony Gordon, who has starred for both club and country in recent times, will also miss out against his former club after being shown a red card by Rob Jones. Harvey Barnes, whose two late goals secured their dramatic comeback win, is seemingly Gordon’s natural replacement.

1. Martin Dubravka
Dubravka’s first Premier League appearance of the season came at Goodison Park against Everton back in December. He will be keen to register another shutout on Tuesday night.
2. Emil Krafth
Back in the starting line-up for the first time in the Premier League since 2022.
3. Fabian Schar
Schar has been slightly below par in recent times, but that is more down to the sky-high standards he has set himself under Howe. He will hope to get back to his very best levels on Tuesday night.
4. Dan Burn
Burn performed very well when shifted into centre back on Saturday and will likely have to play that position between now and the end of the campaign.
