The Newcastle team to play at home against Leicester City this afternoon has just been announced.
Newcastle have just one draw from the last six games and one win in the last 10 games – so we could do with all 3 points today.
A win is what we need!!
Here’s the side:

DeAndre Yedlin – back in the side today at right back
Jamaal Lascelles and Christian Atsu are fit again and they are both on the bench today – so is Jonjo Shelvey.
Only about two in five fans think we will win this game this afternoon against a good Leicester City side.
What do you think?

Comment #361I agree with the previous bloggers.We have certainly missed Lascelles & Atsu through injury. Shelvey & Mitro need to start as well against Everton. Merino & Perez can make an impact from the bench. Why are we considering lounge out Aarons to Aston Villa? In the short amount of “play time” he has done well. Now is the time to pick experience to try to blend with the others who have very little Premiership experience. Regrettably we have what we have so are going to have to make best use of it.
My team for Everton :
Elliott, Mbemba Clark, Lascelles,Dummett, Aarons, Shelvey, Merino/Ritchie, Atsu, Gayle, Mitrovitch 4-2-4
Bench Hayden, Yedlin, Joselu, Lejeune,
Perez, Darlow Merino or Ritchie
