Premier League:Everton (a) The Magpies return to action with a Premier League trip to Goodison Park on Wednesday evening. Kick-off in this non-televised match is at 7.45pm.NUFC: Andros Townsend is in line to make his debut for the club after arriving from Spurs but fellow new boy Seydou Doumbia looks more likely to be blooded against the Baggies on Saturday. There's optimism that Paul Dummett and Jack Colback will be available after injury, but defensive duo Kevin Mbabu and Jamie Sterry are doubts. Tim Krul, Papiss Cisse, Vurnon Anita, Siem De Jong, Massadio Hadaira and Gabriel Obertan remain out. Paddy Power price Newcastle @ 4/1 for the win and rate a 1-0 success for the Magpies @ 16/1. Late goals are a regular feature when these sides meet, with a strike on 84 minutes or later coming in each of the last five games. 10/11 on the final goal coming after the 75th minute is worth a look. Everton have also been ahead by the 20th minute in each of our last four visits to Goodison - you can get13/5 on that becoming five. Paddy's double chance and both teams to score market is also tempting, with 23/10 on either a draw or an away win, or 11/8 on a home or away win. Roberto Martinez has seen his side claim win just three home wins in twelve attempts in the Premier League this season, drawing four and losing five. All three of those home wins saw them ahead at half time - something they haven't otherwise managed. Everton also have the leakiest home defence in the Premier League, conceding 22 times during those dozen games and keeping just a single clean sheet. EFC: While United enjoyed an eleven day break from competitive action thanks to their cup exits, the Toffees had a pair of away ties to contend with. Losing the second leg of a Capital One Cup semi-final at Manchester City on Wednesday, they recovered to win 3-0 at Carlisle in the FA Cup on Sunday. Everton have completed the deadline day signing of striker Oumar Niasse from Lokomotiv Moscow and he will be presented to the crowd on Wednesday - but isn't expected to make his debut until Saturday. Referee: Craig Pawson - two outings this season and two draws; the 2-2 stalemate with Southampton on Tyneside and a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford. The South Yorkshire-based whistler took charge of our most recent victory over Everton, a 3-2 success at SJP back in December 2014. Stats:The Magpies will look to improve on a depressing away record that reads: played 11, won 2, drawn 1, lost 8. Their miserable return of six goals is the lowest tally in the Premier and Football League (and all three National League Divisions) and still some way off the previous worst return of 13 during the 1997/98 campaign.

Im feeling really optimistic about our chances of staying up Everton 1 - 0 NUFC However our recovery wont start until the weekend. Lose against both Everton and WBA and McClaren needs to go!
Just in case anyone has failed to detect what im upto Ive stepped upto ludicrous levels ofreverse psychology to counteract the recent surge in optimism. Its a ****ty job but somebody has to do it.
Excellent cut n paste tekkers there ACS In keeping with the Cap'n's resurgent attempt too stamp out all and any optimism, Sensibly so ...and realising every time I have predicted a win (only 3 times this season) we have lost ....I too shall join the counter optimism insurgency forces ..... 3-1 stuffing Long live the glorious Pessimistic revolution ...Death to the (albeit happy and content) running dogs of optimism
I also am popping the "Balloon of Optimism" that is currently hovering over St James Park 3-1? We wont even score. 2-0 all day!!
I reckon we'll get walloped like, get Baines and Lukaku into your FF teams if possible guys, they're the usual mischief makers.
