Everton face a trip to Newcastle United at St. James' Park at tea-time on Saturday, 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 73 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
