The 2023\/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Victory for the hosts tonight will see them move out of the bottom three, while Eddie Howe\u2019s side will be looking to go back up to fifth if they manage a third straight league victory. They\u2019ve only won once on the road this term though, while Sean Dyche\u2019s men have also only won once at home.<\/p>\n

Dyche has made two changes from the side that beat Nottingham Forest on the road last week. James Garner misses the game due to illness and will be replaced by Coleman, who makes his first appearance of the season. Calvert-Lewin comes back into the team after missing the Forest game, with Beto dropping to the bench.<\/p>\n
NEWCASTLE SUBS: Paul Dummett, Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth, Loris Karius, Lewis Hall, Mark Gillespie, Amadou Diallo, Alex Murphy, Ben Parkinson.<\/p>\n
NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Martin Dubravka; Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier; Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes, Lewis Miley; Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak, Miguel Almiron.<\/p>\n
EVERTON SUBS: Nathan Patterson, Michael Keane, Arnaut Danjuma, Joao Virginia, Beto, Ben Godfrey, Youssef Chermiti, Mackenzie Hunt, Lewis Dobbin.<\/p>\n
EVERTON (4-4-1-1): Jordan Pickford; Vitalii Mykolenko, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski, Seamus Coleman; Dwight McNeil, Idrissa Gueye, Ashley Young, Jack Harrison; Abdoulaye Doucoure; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.<\/p>\n
Newcastle will be hoping for a repeat of last season\u2019s fixture at Goodison Park, with the Magpies running out 4-1 winners. Eddie Howe\u2019s side have won just one of their last eight Premier League away games (D4 L3), but they\u2019ve enjoyed a lot of success against this Everton teamof late. Newcastle have won five of their last six Premier League meetings against the Toffees, as many as they had in their previous 24 against them.<\/p>\n
Everton manager Sean Dyche will be hoping today is the game where the Toffees can turn their home form around, having won two of their last 12 matches at Goodison Park (D2 L8). The Merseyside club have earned just 23.5% of their Premier League points at home this season, if you ignore the 10-point deduction, which shows how reliant they\u2019ve been on their away form. Everton could climb out of the relegation zone with a win today, leapfrogging Luton Town into 17th place.<\/p>\n
