Manager David Moyes will have been disappointed with his side’s last outing, as they were beaten 2-0 at the Hawthorns by West Brom at the start of the month, but that followed wins over Manchester United and Aston Villa in the top flight.

Two players who have been key for the Toffees have been Darren Gibson and Marouane Fellaini and they could both be set for an absence from the starting line-up for two very different reasons.

Gibson, who has featured in all three of Everton’s games in the Premier League so far, is out with a thigh injury which looks set to keep the former United midfielder out for five weeks.

Belgian international Fellaini (6/1 first goalscorer) on the other hand has caused a stir at Goodison Park with the news he might be set to leave the club in the January transfer window.

The midfielder’s recent comments are believed to have angered Moyes, who has admitted he will be able to do little to stop the player leaving next year if a big offer comes in.

However if Fellaini is given the chance to do his talking on the pitch he will form a strong partnership with Nikica Jelavic (11/8 Anytime goalscorer) in a supporting role behind the Croatian marksman.

This game will be about the clinical finishers and Newcastle, who will make the trip to Merseyside looking to secure their first away win of the Premier League campaign, certainly have players who know where the back of the net is.

Papiss Cisse (6/1 first goalscorer) and Demba Ba form one of the most dangerous strike partnerships in the English top flight and they will be causing the Everton defence plenty of problems, in a game which should see goals at either end.

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has an ace in the pack with French midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa, who has been an inspiration so far this season and has earned the praise of the Magpies manager this week.

There will be an injury concern for Pardew with Fabricio Coloccini picking up a knock on international duty with Argentina and he will be a loss for the visitors on Monday night.

Both these teams will have similar goals for the end of the Premier League campaign, as they hope to push for an outside chance of finishing in the top four.

This should be an exciting encounter at Goodison Park and with the attacking talent on the field there should be a few goals.

Both these teams would probably settle for a draw on Monday night and they appear to be evenly matched, so it would be no surprise if the points were shared on Merseyside (14/1 2-2 Draw).
