Everton take on Premier League opposition in Edinburgh this evening as the Blues face Newcastle United at Murrayfield Stadium.
The two teams go head-to-head in the Scottish capital as preparations step up for the Premier League campaign.
Everton head into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat at Stuttgart, continuing a mixed summer of results for David Moyes’s side, who have won twice in five friendly fixtures.
Newcastle beat Valencia in their most recent pre-season outing, as new head coach Matthias Jaissle prepares to lead a new era. It’s been a summer of upheaval for the Magpies, who have seen Eddie Howe step down as manager, and key figures Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, and Bruno Guimaraes all sold.
Everton Team News
Jordan Pickford looks set to make his first appearance of the pre-season with England’s number one back from his post-World Cup break.
Brennan Johnson completed his move to Everton from Crystal Palace on Tuesday and it remains to be seen whether the winger is involved, though Christian Norgaard should feature for the first time. The Danish midfielder was left at Finch Farm during the tour of Germany to get up to speed, following his £7m arrival from Arsenal earlier this month.
Elsewhere, Thierno Barry and Iliman Ndiaye will hope to come in from the start after substitute appearances at Stuttgart. The former scored from the penalty spot for his second goal of the pre-season.
Everton Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Röhl, Hackney, Dewsbury-Hall; Ndiaye, Barry, George.
