Everton vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League goals, latest score and ...
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
Everton host Newcastle United on Thursday evening with both clubs struggling against adversity right now: the Toffees due to a points deduction which leaves them in the relegation zone and the Magpies facing an injury crisis, with goalkeeper Nick Pope the latest long-term absentee.
Victory for the hosts tonight will see them move out of the bottom three, while Eddie Howe’s side will be looking to go back up to fifth if they manage a third straight league victory. They’ve only won once on the road this term though, while Sean Dyche’s men have also only won once at home.

- Kick-off at 7:30pm GMT
Everton have a free-kick in a dangerous position after Trippier pulled Calvert-Lewin to the ground. There's plenty of tussling inside the box, and the referee is having a word with some of the players. McNeil takes, but it's headed clear by Schar.

How has he missed?! From the free-kick, Tarkowski takes it under control inside the box and Branthwaite is there to poke it towards Calvert-Lewin who is unmarked from a few yards out. He swivels and shoots, but somehow misses the target from inside the six-yard box. He has to score, what a chance for Everton!

Livramento makes a foul on Young just inside the Newcastle half and Everton have a chance to fill the box from a free-kick. Pickford is there to take and he will be able to launch it towards the penalty area.

Chance for the Magpies! Joelinton backheels it into the path of Trippier who sends a cross into the box. Isak gets between the Everton centre-backs and looks to guide his header into the bottom corner. Pickford scrambles across his line, but it whistles past the post.

Big chance for Everton! The Toffees press well to win the ball back and Harrison drives at the Newcastle defence. He has McNeil to his right and he finds him inside the box. McNeil looks to catch Dubravka out by rolling a shot into the corner, but it goes wide of the post. He didn't strike it with a lot of conviction.

From the resulting free-kick, Trippier pumps the ball into the box. It's headed away by Branthwaite but only as far as Almiron and the Newcastle winger strikes it on the volley. Fortunately for Pickford in goal, it flies over the bar and out for a goal-kick.

Gueye makes yet another foul as he sends Gordon to the ground. This time, the referee gives him a talking-to, but he's still yet to produce a yellow card in this game. The Everton midfielder will have to tread carefully as the officials are onto him.

Trippier breaks forward and is caught late by Gueye in the middle of the pitch. The referee quickly awards a free-kick, and Gueye might count himself a little lucky not to have gone into the book there. The Everton midfielder was nowhere near the ball, and it's not his first foul either.

Everton have already managed 11 shots so far in this game, but have only hit the target twice. The Toffees have touched the ball 20 times in the opposition box, with Newcastle managing to do the same just once. Dyche will be pleased with how his side have started this one.
