Newcastle United battered Everton in their own backyard on Saturday, coming away with an impressive 4-1 win that could have been even more were it not for some big saves from Jordan Pickford.
Eddie Howe tweaked his lineup, bringing in Lewis Miley and Anthony Elanga as well as returning Dan Burn to a centre-back role.
Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall both started again for the Magpies as they did against Manchester City, and it's no coincidence that Newcastle one once again.
Having the two young England full-backs on the pitch massively changes how Newcastle play, offering so much more going forward while still being solid defensively.

Danny Murphy says Lewis Hall was 'incredible' for Newcastle last night
That didn't go unnoticed by Danny Murphy on Match of the Day last night, who highlighted the two young England stars as the main reason why Newcastle controlled the game against Everton. Murphy picked out the moment where Lewis Hall had a shot deflected onto the crossbar as a prime example.
“Talk about, away from home being adventurous when you haven’t won, deciding to go for it.
“Look, when he picks it up here, Livramento, there’s the other full-back. The two highest players up the pitch, trying to play his other full-back in to get in on goal.
“[Hall] Gets his shot away and it just goes over. It’s absolutely incredible.”

Tino Livramento still has Jack Grealish in his pocket
Livramento was up against Jack Grealish all game and is likely to find the on-loan Manchester City star in his pocket when he washes his shorts. The England winger got absolutely no change out of Tino all game.
Meanwhile, Hall was forever marauding forward as if he was playing left wing, but he never neglected his defensive duties to do so.
With these two fit and in the side, our season will shift direction massively. We look like an entirely different team with them two on the pitch.
