Neville Southall has sent a passionate plea to Everton supporters urging them to get behind their side at Goodison Park tonight.
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are the visitors to Merseyside for this evening's Premier League clash. The Blues come into the game in desperate need of all three points.
Frank Lampard’s side currently sit one place above the relegation zone having lost their last four Premier League matches - the most recent being a 1-0 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.

And ahead of tonight’s game, Southall has appealed to Everton fans to stick with the team and urged them to be loud and proud and make Goodison a real fortress.
“Hi all Evertonians. Everton is my club, my passion, my life. We need to get behind the lads tonight and really give it to Newcastle,” he said in a video clip posted on Twitter.
“We have got to get behind our players. If they make a mistake we have got to cheer. We have got to make it so hard for Newcastle tonight. Fans tonight are the most important they have ever been.
“This is a battle to get us out of relegation. Everton Football Club needs you! They need you tonight and they need you to be patient, brave and more or less you have got to be loud. Up the f*****g Toffees!”
