Eddie Howe will be hoping for more of the same when his Newcastle United side face Everton on Thursday night.
After the highs of smashing Tottenham 6-1, Newcastle arrive at Goodison Park to take on a side that are desperate for a win of their own.
Everton are fighting for their lives, and are currently in the relegation zone. Their Premier League status hangs in the balance, and they will not be looking forward to the prospect of facing the Magpies.
Howe will want his side to pick up where they left off, and this is our predicted Newcastle lineup to face Everton
Fabian Schar fit to start against Everton
The big question mark heading into the game is whether or not Fabian Schar will be fit. He limped off against Spurs, suffering a hamstring problem.
The £3million defender has said that he hopes to be fit for the game at Goodison Park, and we are anticipating that to be the case. He initially tried to play on against Spurs, which is hopefully a sign that there are no major issues.
If not, Jamaal Lascelles will be on standby to make his third Premier League start of the season.
Anthony Gordon starts on the bench for Newcastle
One subplot on Thursday night will be Anthony Gordon returning to Goodison Park. The 22-year-old did not leave Everton on good terms, and will likely receive a frosty reception from the home crowd.
He is yet to burst into life since joining Newcastle in January, and this would be an incredible stage to get his first goal or assist in Toon colours – especially given the way he was treated towards the end of his Everton career.
However, he is almost certain to start on the bench. Newcastle’s wingers were sensational against Tottenham, with Jacob Murphy and Joelinton putting the Magpies 3-0 up within the first 10 minutes. There is no way they will be dropped.
Predicted XI to face Everton: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Bruno, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Joelinton.
