Newcastle United is considering signing David de Gea or Aaron Ramsdale to cover for the injury of Nick Pope. Eddie Howe confirmed that no inquiries have been made yet but expects Nick Pope to be out for 4 months. Martin Dubravka is set to replace Pope. The Athletic's David Ornstein believes Newcastle will discuss the goalkeeping situation. Newcastle's match against Everton saw several chances for both teams, with Dubravka making crucial saves and Newcastle struggling to find opportunities.
Dwight McNeil somehow misses the target. #NUFC are opened up their right, eventually Harrison slips a pass inside to McNeil, who lashes an effort wide form inside the area. At the other end, Tarkowski makes a massive tackle to thwart Bruno Guimaraes, who worryingly goes down…
Almiron tries an ambitious volley from just outside the area as Trippier curls in a cross from a free-kick on the right, midway inside the #EFC half. It's headed back to Almiron, who lets it drop but can't keep it down & his shot goes over the bar. #EVENEW #NUFC
Lovely dinked cross from Miley on the right after he is fed in towards the byline, but Isak can't reach it. The #NUFC forward hasn't had a chance of note yet. He is looking pretty isolated so far. #EVENEW #EFC
Almiron & Gordon have switched sides, as #NUFC look to find a way to get into the game in a positive sense. They've had one touch in the opposition box so far, to Everton's 19. #EVENEW #EFC
Save! Big stop from Dubravka to keep Calvert-Lewin out. Harrison cuts inside from the right, feeds a lovely slid pass into the right-hand side of the box, Calvert-Lewin gets there & hits a shot low, but Dubravka sticks out a right hand to claim it. #EVENEW #NUFC
DCL has *another* shot saved by Dubravka after Harrison had slipped him in. Everton creating chances at home again but yet to find finishing touch...
Doucoure gets up for a header but can't connect with it properly, then McNeil centres from the left & Calvert-Lewin has another chance, but heads straight at Dubravka. #NUFC conceding possession in their own half at times & putting themselves under pressure. #EVENEW
DCL goes close again - this time heading McNeil's cross at Dubravka
Chance for Calvert-Lewin. #EFC put in a couple of crosses, Lascelles deals with the first, but #NUFC can't clear their lines, the ball finds it way to Harrison on the right, he dinks in a cross, Calvert-Lewin rises but mistimes his jump & heads it over. #EVENEW
DCL heads Harrison's cross wide. Nudge from Trippier enough to put him off
Chance! Big opportunity for #NUFC. Miley gathers well in midfield, the ball finds its way to Joelinton via Isak, who bursts through the middle of the field, reaches the edge of the area, slips in Almiron to his right, but his effort is weak & Pickford collects. #EVENEW #EFC
Trippier curls the free-kick round the right-hand side of the wall, Pickford shimmies to his left & collects it comfortably. #EVENEW #EFC #NUFC
Trippier's free kick safely gathered by Pickford
Livramento makes his first slaloming run, this time coming in from the left, advancing towards the #EFC box, then being upended by Gueye. #NUFC free-kick to follow, about 22 yards out, left of centre. Trippier is over it, as is Schar... #EVENEW
Really good left-footed cross from the right from Miley, but #EFC manage to head it away before Joelinton or Isak can get on the end of it. #EVENEW #NUFC
Tarjiowski now tries a shot from distance after Miley is smothered by two #EFC players down #NUFC's right, the ball is centred & it is headed back to Tarkowski. But his shot is wild & over. #EVENEW
Gueye now has another shot blocked, before the ball is centred from the left, Young on the right-hand side of the box lashes a low shot, which Livramento blocks out for an #EFC corner. #NUFC keep playing themselves into trouble with poor defensive headers. #EVENEW #NUFC
Spell of Everton pressure ends with Young's shot being deflected wide for a corner
Young fouls Gordon on the left touchline after Gordon controls it well & then uses skill to get round him. Boos from the home crowd once more. #NUFC take it quickly but a long ball forward sees them cede possession. #EVENEW #EFC
Two big blocks from Lascelles from Gueye & then another #EFC player. Livramento's header had gone straight to Gueye. Both shots came from a floated ball from the left-hand side into the #NUFC box. #EVENEW
Livramento is again at left-back, with Trippier at right-back. Gordon is on the left, up against Seamus Coleman. Gordon chants already from the away end. He's booed by home fans when he takes his first touch. #EVENEW #NUFC #EFC
We're under way at Goodison Park, where #NUFC have only one change to their side, with Martin Dubravka replacing the injured Nick Pope in goal. Boos for the returning Anthony Gordon as his name is read out before the match. #EVENEW #EFC
