Everton will be without Tim Cahill, who is beginning his 3 match ban after being sent off for a challenge of Xabi Alonso last weekend in the Merseyside derby. Phil Neville and Louis Saha could both be out after picking up injuries in Everton's UEFA cup match against Standard Liege in which they lost 2-1.
Joe Kinnear will take control of his first match as interim manager after causing more controversy for the club with a tirade of expletives in his press conference this week. His side sit one place from the bottom of the table just above Tottenham Hotspur and could sink to bottom should Spurs beat Hull City
Newcastle will be relieved to welcome back Danny Guthrie who has completed his 3 match ban after being issued a red card earlier in the season against Hull City, whilst Jose Enrique (hamstring) could also play some part after returning to training and making good progress in recovering from his injury.
Unfortunately Obafemi Martins, Mark Viduka, Jonas Gutierrez, Ignacio Gonzalez and Alan Smith all remain injured whilst Joey Barton is serving an FA suspension for his assault on Ousmane Dabo. Habib Beye, despite returning to training this week will also miss the match after being ruled out just before the team left Tyneside earlier today.
