Newcastle United host Everton in the Premier League on Tuesday night, a meeting between two teams fighting against relegation and hoping to build toward a more successful future than they have managed of late.
Frank Lampardwon his first game in charge of the Toffees as they knocked Brentford out of the FA Cup, but it’s in the league they need wins as they sit just two places and four points above the relegation zone.
Newcastle sit 19th heading into the week’s action, but a vital win over Leeds last time out before the international break gives them hope of avoiding the drop - as do five new additions during the January transfer window.
Three of them including Bruno Guimaraes could debut here, while Donny van de Beek and Dele Alli might do likewise for Everton.
