Newcastle United's top scorer Alexander Isak has not trained this week but head coach Eddie Howe says there's still a chance he could be involved.
Kieran Trippier is also a doubt but fellow full-back Matt Targett may return to the squad after a month out.
Everton are without defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Seamus Coleman as both suffered thigh injuries during last weekend's win over Southampton.
Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is set to play his 166th and final game for the club.
Match facts
Head-to-head
Newcastle are unbeaten in four top-flight home meetings with Everton, winning three and drawing one.
However, the Toffees have kept 18 Premier League clean sheets against the Magpies, only shutting out Liverpool (21) and West Ham (23) more often.
Newcastle United
Newcastle have won six successive Premier League home games and are vying to win seven in a row for the first time since December 2023.
Victory would guarantee Champions League qualification for next season. A point would also be enough if Aston Villa fail to beat Manchester United or Chelsea draw with Forest.
The Magpies have won 12 top-flight home fixtures in 2024-25, last faring better in 2002-03 when they claimed 15 victories at St James' Park under Sir Bobby Robson.
Newcastle have won their final league game in eight of the past 10 seasons (D1, L1).
Eddie Howe's side had five shots on target in the opening 17 minutes of their defeat at Arsenal last weekend but failed to muster another one for the remainder of the game.
Howe is vying to become the fifth English manager to achieve two or more top-four finishes in the Premier League, emulating Kevin Keegan, Roy Evans, Sir Bobby Robson and Harry Redknapp.
Everton
Everton could end the season with three successive league victories for the first time since 1989.
Only four sides have amassed more points than Everton's 28 since they won their first Premier League game under David Moyes this season on 19 January.
The Blues have lost their final league fixture in six of the past eight seasons, with their only victory in that time coming at home to Bournemouth in 2023.
Iliman Ndiaye has scored six goals in his last 10 Premier League starts, including a brace in the final Premier League game at Goodison Park last weekend.
The Senegal international is averaging a goal every 141 minutes under David Moyes, compared to one every 506 minutes under previous boss Sean Dyche.
