Eddie Howe: 'Barnes looked sharp against West Ham'

Eddie Howe, Newcastle manager, speaking on TNT Sports:

He [Harvery barnes] looked really sharp when he came on [against West Ham]. He's a goalscorer.
We've tried not to focus on who's missing. That would be a negative.
Since January, our form has been pretty good. I'd love to think we can really grow until the end of the season and have a positive end to what has been a challenging campaign. If we can come out the other side we could see the benefits next season.

'Kieran Trippier will be facing another THREE weeks out'

Craig Hope, Mail Sport, at St James' Park:

Some big injury news from here at St James’ Park - Kieran Trippier will be facing another THREE weeks out with a calf problem, while Miguel Almiron (knee) and Tino Livramento (ankle) will miss all of April.
Also, not only have Newcastle named two goalkeepers on the bench tonight, they’ve also included a player in Amadou Diallo who has been told he’s leaving the club at the end of the season.

Redemption time for Spurs

Spurs will have been wanting to redeem themselves since their 2-1 loss to West Ham at home back in December.

The loss came in a run of five games without a win, including four losses, a period for the team.

Jarrod Bowen and James Ward-Prowse turned the game around for the Hammers after Christian Romero gave Spurs a first-half lead.

Today is a chance for Ange Postecoglou's side to put things right, they will need to in their fight for a top-four spot.

Can they grab three points at the London Stadium?

Update on Livramento and Almiron

Not good news Newcastle fans...

Craig Hope, Mail Sport, has revealed both Tino Livramento and Miguel Almiron could be missing for most of April due to injury.

Not what Newcastle needed in their push for European football.

Hammers have point to prove

What better way would there be to comeback from Saturday’s loss to Newcastle with a win over Spurs.

David Moyes and his side will feel they have to bounce back from that 4-3 defeat with immediate effect tonight. It would banish the memories of that day very quickly.

For large parts of the game at St. James’ Park, the Irons looked a good side. When they went 3-1 ahead, I couldn’t see the Magpies coming back due to their inconsistency this season.

However, The Hammers just simply fell apart. There is no other way to put it.

Win tonight though, and all will be forgiven.

Magpies find Toffees easy to chew

Newcastle love it when Everton come up north.

The Magpies have won three successive home league matches against the Toffees and five of the last seven including away fixtures.

However, they didn't enjoy their outing at Goodison Park in December, they came out on the wrong side of a 3-0 scoreline.

They will be hoping normal service resumes tonight, though.

Fulham Line-Up - TWO Changes

Marco Silva has made some changes, unlike him.

Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete start for Fulham as they look to return to winning ways.

Rodrigo Muniz starts again, there was never any inclination that he wouldn't.

Nottingham Forest Team news - Elanga back IN

Anthony Elanga returns to the starting 11 as one of three changes.

Andrew Omobamidele and Danilo also come in.

Taiwo Awoniyi remains on the sidelines, but their top scorer Chris Wood remains up top.

Everton Starting XI - Calvert-Lewin BENCHED

Sean Dyche has rung the changes.

the most noticeable of the four changes he has made to his side that lost at Bournemouth is the inclusion of Beto, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin dropping to the bench.

The Toffees summer signing did score at the weekend, something Calvert-Lewin hasn't managed for 23 matches...

Newcastle Team News - Barnes STARTS

There he is, Harvery Barnes does indeed start for Newcastle.

Eddie Howe has made our changes to the side that beat West Ham in that dramatic comeback, with Emil Krafth, Lewis Hall, Elliott Anderson and Barnes all coming in.

You can see in the line-up how many players the Magpies are missing.

Livramento & Almiron missing from NUFC squad

Some early team news from St James Park.

The injury crisis at Newcastle United is never-ending, and two more key names will be missing from tonight's match.

Who will actually make the squad?

No Everton reunion for Gordon

Newcastle always seem to have a bunch of players out, and tonight you can add Anthony Gordon to that list due to his red card against West Ham.

You imagine Gordon would have been eager to show his old side what they are missing tonight, however, the second yellow card he got for kicking the ball away in added time against the Hammers scuppered that opportunity.

After netting two goals off the bench to turn Saturday’s game on its head, Harvey Barnes would be the perfect person to come in for Gordon.

We will find out what Eddie Howe's solution is in five minutes!

Bournemouth searching for first double over Eagles in 35 years

Compared to the other games tonight, this one has slightly less on it.

Both Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are sitting rather comfortably in 13th and 14th and are not far from sliding on their flip-flops and heading for the beach.

We are not at that stage quite yet, but Bournemouth are just two points away from the 40-point mark though, so a win tonight basically guarantees their safety.

The Cherries have historically struggled against Crystal Palace, but their 2-0 win over them ended a run of five consecutive League defeats to the Londoners and means they can complete a first league double over Palace for the first time since 1988-89.

Although I said there isn’t too much on this game, Palace may want to separate themselves from the relegation conversation a bit more with a win tonight.

This game will be a tight affair, I feel.

Burnley keen to close gap on relegation rivals

If you asked me a month ago if Burnley had any chance of staying up, I’d have said a resounding 'no'.

However, after four points from their last two games, which includes a brilliant point away at Chelsea with 10 men, the relegation fight is not over just yet.

The Clarets are four points from safety and if they grab a win tonight against Wolves, it will be fair to say the fight is well and truly ON!

That’s easier said than done though. Wolves under Gary O’Neil have been brilliant this season, one of the surprise packages in the division – they will make life hard for Burnley.

Tonight is another must-win game for the 19th-placed Clarets.

Four in a row for Fulham against Forest?

Fulham were another side involved in a Premier League epic at the weekend.

Marco Silva’s side came from 3-1 down to snatch a point against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane thanks to a Rodrigo Muniz wonder strike.

Tonight, they face another relegation-threatened side, but one that has more of a sniff of survival, in Nottingham Forest.

The west London side love a clash against Forest, they have won all three of their Premier League games against them by an aggregate score of 10-2.

However, they have never beaten any side in the competition four times in a row. Could they manage that feat today?

Remember, Fulham have only secured two wins on the road this season, so Forest will feel they could stop their rut against them with a valuable victory tonight. The hosts are in need of a win in their hunt for survival.

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Will Newcastle kick on from incredible West Ham comeback?

Newcastle fans will barely have recovered from their sensational comeback win over West Ham, but they will be back tonight in full force at St James’ Park as Everton make the trip up north.

The Geordies will be hoping tonight can be much more straightforward than Saturday lunchtime – although we love the drama – and the players can use the win over the Hammers as a springboard for the rest of the season.

It’s been a topsy-turvy season for the Magpies, with injuries and inconsistent performances slowing down their progress following last season’s top-four success.

However, Eddie Howe’s side still sit eighth and are in the hunt for both the Europa Conference League and Europa League spots.

Everton have their own fight on their hands though, they sit just three points above the drop zone and are winless in 12 league games – a club record – so they will be desperate for a win tonight.

Both teams have a lot to lose.

Fierce London rivals reunite

Both West Ham and Spurs fans search for this match when the fixtures are released before the season commences – the game is huge for both sets of fans.

Nobody ever likes losing to a rival, and with both the Hammers and Spurs fighting for European football, three points is a must.

West Ham will be forced to pick themselves up off the floor after Saturday’s dramatic loss to Newcastle, while Spurs’ comeback against Luton has kept them on the heels of fourth-place Aston Villa.

With so much at stake for both sides and their dislike towards one another, it’s set up to be a cracker in east London.

Non-stop Premier League action

All Premier League teams are in action this week, but tonight is the busiest with 10 sides facing off in a monumental set of midweek fixtures.

It’s set to be another good night of football, so let’s have a look at what we have in store:

  • Newcastle vs Everton 19:30 BST
  • Nottingham Forest vs Fulham 19:30 BST
  • Burnley vs Wolves 19:45 BST
  • Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace 19:45 BST
  • West Ham vs Tottenham 20:15 BST

Back so soon?

This time of year is footballing heaven.

The run-in to the end of the Premier League season is well and truly underway and if we are treated to anything like we saw on the weekend just gone, we are set for one hell of a ride.

We have only had to wait two days since the whistle was blown on the chess battle between Manchester City and Arsenal – that is the polite way to put it – for league action to return and tonight we have five top-flight fixtures for you to tuck into.

London rivals meet again, the battle for European football continues, and struggling sides continue their fight for survival. It’s all happening at the moment.

I hope you have all recovered from your chocolate comas – I am just about recuperating – and are ready for another dramatic night of top-tier footie.

Let’s get stuck in!
