"Extending on their FA Cup charge on February 14th as they secured an eye-catching 3-1 win away at Aston Villa, the former Bournemouth boss has seen his squad win four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Landing an thumping 4-1 victory when they travelled to Merseyside for their reverse Premier League battle on November 29th, Newcastle will be dreaming of a repeat performance on Saturday afternoon."
"In what is a huge blow for Howe's side, the Magpies will be without skipper Bruno Guimaraes for the foreseeable future with a hamstring injury. Undergoing ankle surgery last month, Newcastle will once again be without Swiss international Fabian Schar on Saturday. Likewise, still sidelined with a hamstring injury, ex-Chelsea youngster Valentino Livramento will not play any part at St. James' Park."
Newcastle United host Everton in a Premier League fixture at St. James' Park on Saturday afternoon. Newcastle recently defeated Qarabag 9-3 on aggregate in Champions League action and have won four of their previous five matches across all competitions, including a 3-1 FA Cup victory at Aston Villa and a 4-1 Premier League win against Everton in November. However, Newcastle will be without key players including captain Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring injury), Fabian Schar (ankle surgery), and Valentino Livramento (hamstring injury), though Malick Thiaw returns from Champions League suspension. Everton, managed by David Moyes, currently occupy the top-half of the Premier League table but are seeking stability after consecutive defeats, including a recent 1-0 home loss to Manchester United.
