Everton face Newcastle United in their penultimate pre-season friendly
Welcome to our live coverage of Everton's pre-season friendly against Newcastle United. Kick-off at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium is 5.15pm.
The all-Premier League clash will act as the Blues' penultimate warm-up game before the new Premier League season kick-offs at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday, August 22.
And there is a chance Everton could field one of their brand new summer signings in the Scottish capital. While it remains to be seen whether Brennan Johnson will feature having only completed his move from Crystal Palace yesterday (Tuesday), the match with the new-look Magpies could be the first time Christian Norgaard features since his arrival from Arsenal.
We'll be bringing you all the build up to the encounter, including team news when it drops, followed by an in-game commentary stream and the best post-match reaction and analysis.
