Everton face a trip to Newcastle United at St. James' Park on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 40 and win only 16 of the 72 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Premiership match.
