Newcastle United return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon after beating Qarabag 3-2 at St. James' Park (SJP) in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League (UCL) play-off tie in midweek. It ensured that the Magpies went through to the last 16 9-3 on aggregate, after thumping the Azerbaijani side 6-1 in the first leg.
They welcome an Everton side to SJP this time after the Toffees lost 1-0 at home to Manchester United last time out. Both sides are in midtable at the moment, with the ambition of eventually finishing in the European places come the end of the season.

Player to watch: Lewis Hall
Lewis Hall is a threat going forward as well as in defence for Newcastle. He scored away at Manchester City in the Premier League last time out, and will no doubt pose a threat for Everton's right-hand side.
