Everton play host to injury plagued Newcastle on Monday night
Everton will square off against Newcastle United in a crunch Premier League fixture on Monday night at Goodison Park.
The match promises to be an enthralling one, as both the teams are currently not on the best of terms.
During the closing stages of the previous season, the Magpies boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew, claimed that his team were in a different league than Everton. His comments infuriated the Goodison Park faithful and triggered a warfare of words between the players from both
the sides.
Furthermore, the game can also be viewed as a battle between two teams, who are vying for a Champions League spot this season.
The Toffees, who have so far recorded wins against Manchester United and Aston Villa, will be looking to grab all three points in order to remain at touching distance with the Premier League’s big boys.
Newcastle, on the other hand, will be aiming to get their campaign back on track, after managing just a single point out of their last two games.

Alan Pardew may think that his side are in a different league then Everton, but the Englishman faces an onerous task of proving his claim on Monday night. The manager will have to contend with a number of injuries, which appear to have already undermined
their chances of securing a result from their visit of Merseyside.
Goalkeeper Tim Krul, and skipper, Fabricio Coloccini, are set to miss out the game due to an elbow and hamstring injuries respectively that they sustained while on international duty.
Tiote, Ryan Taylor and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Simpson are already reported to be suffering from fitness problems and are doubtful to feature.
Hence, Pardew might start with Gael Bigirimana in place of Tiote, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Williamson is set to take up Coloccini’s duties.
Steve Harper is expected to take up the gloves in the absence of first choice shot stopper, Krul while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonas-c18967 Gutierrez could be handed over the captain’s armband.
Expected Starting Eleven:
Jonas Gutierrez (Captain), Steve Harper (Goalkeeper), Michael Williamson, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812.

Expected Result:
Everton 2 : 1 Newcastle United
The Toffees will go into the game without any injury concerns and the fact that they will be playing at home makes them huge favourites to run away with the fixture.
