Key events
36 minutes: Goodison erupted when Pickford saved him. Tarkowski will be very, very relieved.
Everton then survives a couple of corners as they look to find calm.
PENALTY SAVED! Everton 0-0 Newcastle
35 mins: Pickford dives to his left to repel former Toffee Gordon.
33 minutes: GRIEF! I have no idea what Tarkowski was doing: there was no threat. Pawson grants it to him after looking at the screen.
32 minutes: There is a penalty check for Tarkowski throwing Tonali to the floor. It is largely lacking and incredibly useless from the point of view Everton pattern. Pawson approaches the screen.
30 minutes: Barnes has a lot of space on the left and can send the ball to the back post. Young heads back for a corner, which ends with Murphy curling a shot wide from the edge of the area.
28 minutes: Gordon does it well again, this time on the right and crosses into a dangerous area but Everton fight of course. A problem for Newcastle is that there is no central striker who can convert those types of opportunities.
26 minutes: Tarkowski throws the ball towards Calvert-Lewin, who chests it on the edge of the area, but is forced to retreat.
24 minutes: A bit of a delay while doctors tend to Garner, who gets up and steps to the side. It looks like he received a blow to the head but he seems to be fine.
22 minutes: Gordon quickly passes Doucoure in the box and moves into space, but his kickback is poor and Mangala intercepts.
A slightly strange moment when Barnes and Garner clash. They both end up on the ground and wait for a foul to be called, but Craig Pawson doesn't think a foul has been committed and Barnes finally gets up to dribble forward. Garner waits on the floor and requires treatment.
20 minutes: What a disheartening time for Goodison Park. They were enthusiastic until the intervention of the boys at Stockley Park. Will it be extra motivation or will it bring frustration?
NO GOAL! Everton 0-0 Newcastle
Garner delivers a cross and Doucoure wins the header, sending it over Pope, but the VAR sees that he is half a meter offside.
GOAL! Everton 1-0 Newcastle (Doucoure, 18)
The midfielder kicks the first goal.
17 minutes: Murphy fails to control a cross from the left when he is in a good position, but then tries again, but his low shot is easy for Pickford.
“What a shame Newcastle's famous black and white kit clashed with Everton's and forced them to wear Saudi Arabian colours.” Gary says..
A practically non-existent crash.
16 minutes: Calvert-Lewin receives a long pass about 25 meters from the goal. He heads towards the Newcastle centre-backs and shoots from the edge of the area, but it goes straight at Pope.
14 minutes: Gordon turns inside the Everton half but it is cropped. He stands up holding his hamstring but I assume it's just an impact injury.
12 minutes: It must also be said that on the previous set piece Young was marking Burn, which seems like a bad idea.
10 minutes: OFFLINE! A Newcastle corner is launched to the far post where Guimaraes is waiting. His volley beats Pickford, but Ndiaye somehow blocks the shot on the line.
9 minutes: Calvert-Lewin receives a long ball, takes a couple of touches and shoots wide, but is then penalized for a high boot, which is a bit harsh considering Trippier is keeping his head down.
8 minutes: Everton He has a clear plan to be quite direct and surprise Newcastle with long and open balls.
6 minutes: Barnes beats makeshift right-back Garner, but his cross is blocked at the near post. Newcastle's wingers could have fun against Garner and Young.
4 minutes: Pickford jogs forward to take a free kick from the halfway line. He puts it in the area, Tarkowski wins the initial header but Pope comes out to clear the ball.
2 minutes: Tonali lifts the ball over Keane who brings it down inside the Newcastle half. It is true that there is almost no contact.
Kick off
Peep! Peep! Peep! Here we go!
The players are in the tunnel. Tarkowski receives a police escort before being met by his former Burnley teammate Nick Pope.
Arsenal had to come back against Southampton.
“Staying awake while Daylight Saving Time officially begins, literally as I write and send this email, means I'm effectively losing an hour of sleep as the local clock passes 2:00 a.m. and becomes 3:00 a.m.” emails to Chris Paraskevas.
“To counteract the lack of sleep, I just had a second dinner (a slightly raw cheeseburger) to “keep the engine running.” I just hope the players are as dedicated to the cause as I am.
“Our collective and individual inconsistency this season has been infuriating: more than capable at our best and probably the most tedious of the competition at our worst.
“It's time for Anthony Gordon to properly start his season with a stellar performance. (Sorry, Mary Waltz!)”
I am sure that this energetic element will focus the mind.
Leicester is on the move.

Mary Waltz Emails: “Greetings Will. Now that we're out of the relegation zone, I've decided to abandon my usual pessimism and dream of the sunny highlands ahead. New owner, new stadium on the way, we're surely just a point out of the dustbin and injuries have ruled out our promising youngster for today's fight against Newcastle. I'm going to adopt a positive attitude (or denial if you want to get completely technical about it). ) “
Anthony Gordon is back at Goodison Park.
It's a blow Branthwaite misses again after recently returning from injury. He Everton The defense is much better with him next to Tarkowski.
Reading before the game.
Isak missing again for Newcastle, leaving Gordon leading the line. I'm sure you'd be happy to annoy your former employers.

Preamble
There is some positivity at Goodison Park after getting their first first division win the season last time. Furthermore, the end of its acquisition saga is in sight. Sean Dyche is still not particularly popular with the Everton fan base, but his key strength is putting together a run of results and a second win will give him a boost.
Newcastle have had a fun season where they didn't play particularly well but got results. Last weekend's draw against Manchester City was a well-earned point and they certainly have the firepower to cause teams problems and will love their chances on Merseyside. A win would put them in the top four for 24 hours, which is a great incentive.
Let's wait for a cookie.
Start: 5.3pm BST
