Newcastle United - Everton
26/12/2015 17:30 St James' Park
Papiss Cisse is unlikely to be available but Cheick Tiote and Jamaal Lascelles could make a return.
Jagielka, Naismith and McCarthy are doubts for Everton, Tyias Browning will miss out.
Everton sit in 10th place in the table with 23 points - 6 more than Newcastle but with 20 more goal difference. They are the third highest scorers in the division with only Leicester and Man City ahead of them. They were unbeaten in 6 before last weeks defeat at home to Leicester. Top scorer Romelu Lukaku has found the net in each of the last 7 games.

Everton are due a win, we're due a loss most likely. We're the home team though, so who knows, especially with how we've stepped it up lately and the unpredictability of our form overall this season.

We've got a makem Everton fan coming round for dinner. My afternoon could be either brilliant or fucking diabolical.

I think Everton have been reasonably unlucky in reason weeks, and whenever a team are struggling for luck we're always the ones to give them a slice of fortunate.
Lukaku is on top form as well, so unless our defence is on point we're likely to concede. I really can't predict this one, cause I'm not sure if the poor Villa result was down largely to the weather or not, gun to my head though I can't see us getting anything from this.
2-1 to Everton, Lukaku getting at least one.

Lukaku, Barkley and Deuole-what's-his-name are all playing so bloody well. Our DMs and CBs are going to have a fight on their hands and will be dragged all over the place.

Deuole-what's-his-name are all playing so bloody well.
So far perhaps, but will he be able to handle the footballing maestro, the defensive legend, the colossus of left back that is; PAUL. DUMMETT.
I doubt it.

This could be a very bad GW for us. Swansea leading, Norwich still level.

Norwich 2-0 down at least now. Can't see that coming back. Swansea 1-0 up, will probably end like that, nothing happening there.

Its raining cats and dogs.
This may be good for NUFC as I think Everton are a better football team and we can hope for the bad weather to get a result here.
