  1. Everton 1-4 Newcastle: What Howe and Woltemade saidpublished at 20:15 GMT 29 November

    First away win is a big step forward for Newcastle form - Howe

    Newcastle manager Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a massive win for us, first away win of the season. We have been chasing that win, and it was elusive so far, but that was a big moment today. I'm so pleased that the players won, so I didn't have to talk about the away form today. We scored goals, which we haven't done regularly enough away from home. We looked fresh, and we made some tactical tweaks.

    On defender Malick Thiaw scoring two goals: "Big goals, the first one is a great ball from Lewis Miley, who I thought played really well today, and he got his head to it, and the second one is a great ball from Lewis Hall. So goals from different sources, two set plays, but I thought we looked a goal threat all day. Nick [Woltemade] took his goal well, which was good for him to be back on the scoresheet, and we could have got more."

    On back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season: "That's the key, back-to-back wins is everything and beating Man City gave us a huge confidence lift, and this one today will give us a lift."

    On injured goalkeeper Nick Pope: "He is due to have a scan in the next few days to gather the extent of his injury. Delighted with Aaron [Ramsdale] today, I thought he came and did really well, so fingers crossed Nick's [injury] is not too serious."

    On today being his 48th birthday: "Well, I'm not happy being 48, that's for sure! But I can enjoy the moment and the day, and it's a really important win for us."

    Striker Nick Woltemade speaking to Sky Sports on his goal: "It was a good counter, and Anthony [Elanga] played a good ball to me. I was a bit lucky that it went in."

    On adapting to the Premier League: "Really easy transition, the guys welcomed us really well, and the fans make it feel like home already. It is a nice feeling for us. I think I can improve my game, but I score goals, which is the most important things for a striker. To get a good feeling at a new club, especially in a new league, I am really happy about it."

    • This was Newcastle's biggest away win against a non-promoted side in the Premier League since April 2023, which was also a 4-1 victory against Everton.

    • Newcastle's Malick Thiaw became the first player to score his first ever Premier League goal in the opening minute of a match since Kenedy for Chelsea against Norwich in March 2016.

  2. Newcastle analysis: Howe's big calls pay offpublished at 20:09 GMT 29 November

    This felt like a huge win for Newcastle United - in so many ways.

    Eddie Howe had grown tired of talking about his side's issues away from home but, finally, following a 236-day wait - they delivered on the road in the Premier League.

    The Newcastle head coach rang the changes following the midweek defeat in Marseille - and those calls certainly paid off.

    Aaron Ramsdale, Lewis Miley and Anthony Elanga were among those handed rare starts while regulars like Joelinton, Lewis Hall and Nick Woltemade also came back in.

    Ramsdale may have conceded late on, but the goalkeeper was assured on his first league start in place of the injured Nick Pope and calm in possession.

    Miley set up his side's opener before making it 2-0 as he became the second-youngest Newcastle player ever to score and assist in a Premier League game.

    And the rapid Elanga looked more like himself following a challenging start since his £55m move from Nottingham Forest.

    Yet it was a change of mentality as much as personnel.

    As Everton started to probe, after going behind so early on, Newcastle protected Ramsdale, with Dan Burn and Hall both making crucial blocks inside the box and even forward Woltemade getting back to cut out a cross from Jack Grealish.

    Though Jordan Pickford ended up giving Newcastle a huge helping hand, crucially, Newcastle managed to double their advantage, which they failed to do when ahead on their travels against Marseille, Brentford and West Ham in recent weeks.

    They did not look back from there as Everton crumbled.

    No wonder the away end repeatedly sang about how they did not want to go home as the game drew to a close. This victory had been a long time coming.

  3. Everton v Newcastle: Team newspublished at 16:28 GMT 29 November

    Everton starting XI

    Tim Iroegbunam and Jake O'Brien come into the starting line-up as Everton make two enforced changes for the visit of Newcastle United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

    Iroegbunam replaces suspended midfielder Idrissa Gueye, who was sent off after slapping team-mate Michael Keane in Monday night's win against Manchester United.

    O'Brien has also been recalled after countryman Seamus Coleman suffered a hamstring injury at Old Trafford last time out.

    Everton starting XI: Pickford, O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Garner, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry

    Subs: Travers, King, McNeil, Beto, Dibling, Alcaraz, Aznou, Welch, Campbell.

    Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has handed Aaron Ramsdale his first league start as goalkeeper Nick Pope misses out through injury.

    Pope has come under fire following recent errors on the road against Marseille, Brentford and West Ham, but Newcastle say the keeper misses out with an unspecified issue.

    Lewis Hall, Lewis Miley, Joelinton, Anthony Elanga and Nick Woltemade all return the starting line-up as Howe makes six changes following the midweek defeat in Marseille in the Champions League.

    Newcastle starting XI: Ramsdale, Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, Hall, Guimaraes, Miley, Joelinton, Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes

    Subs: Ruddy, Schar, Tonali, Gordon, J.Murphy, Willock, A.Murphy, Ramsey, Neave

  5. Sutton's predictions: Everton v Newcastlepublished at 12:00 GMT 29 November

    Chris Sutton smiling on a yellow and black background with 'Sutton's predictions' written below his face

    I really like what David Moyes is doing at Everton. They were very good in their win at Old Trafford on Monday - firstly with 11 men and then especially with 10.

    I quite enjoyed the spat between Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane. There was many a team-mate of mine who wanted to thump me, I can tell you. Looking back, I would have absolutely deserved it too.

    With Jack Grealish, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Iliman Ndiaye, Everton have got a bit about them going forward and they are great to watch, but they are just missing a goalscorer.

    Their centre-forward against Manchester United, Thierno Barry, actually did all right. He didn't look like he was going to score but, in that scenario, with 10 men, he worked so hard and was getting on the end of a lot of balls up to him.

    Whether it is Barry or Beto who starts against Newcastle, they are both due a goal - Beto has not found the net since August, while Barry has not scored at all this season.

    Apart from Everton's centre-forward not scoring, one of the few other things that has been consistent since the season started is Newcastle's away form, in that it is really poor.

    Still, when it comes to predictions, then with the quality they have got in their team, I am always left thinking 'will it change this week?'

    They will have their moments against Everton, but I am not looking at this game and thinking they will go there and win. Instead, I am going to sit on the fence.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

  6. Everton v Newcastle United: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 19:16 GMT 28 November

    Everton go in search of a third straight win when they host a Newcastle side awaiting their first Premier League away victory of the season. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Saturday's game (17:30 GMT).

    Cards adding up for Everton

    The Toffees made it back-to-back wins by beating Manchester United, though Monday's victory was anything but routine, with Idrissa Gueye becoming just the fourth Premier League player to be dismissed for an offence against one of his own team-mates.

    It didn't prove costly on the night, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's strike inflicting United's first Premier League home defeat against 10 men.

    Gueye, who now begins a three-match ban, has publicly apologised for his clash with Michael Keane and, according to manager David Moyes, also said sorry in the dressing room at Old Trafford.

    Moyes was satisfied the midfielder acknowledged his mistake but also said "I quite like when my players have a fight", adding "I want them to be tough".

    That certainly appears to be the case this season. The Merseysiders have been shown 27 cards so far in the Premier League, the division's fourth highest total.

    Magpies' away struggles continue

    Newcastle were impressive in last weekend's victory against Manchester City but Eddie Howe's side were brought back to earth by Marseille in midweek, with the French side scoring twice in the space of four minutes in a 2-1 win.

    Surrendering leads away from home has become a recurring issue for the Magpies. They have gone in front in each of their past three games on the road but lost them all, also failing to capitalise on promising starts at West Ham and Brentford.

    Howe insists Tuesday's defeat in France was "totally different" to those games, praising his side for how they dealt with the hostile atmosphere. However, the Englishman also admitted "there are certain areas to improve".

    One of those areas could perhaps be in goal, with Nick Pope caught out for Marseille's equaliser on Tuesday. Pope needs to maintain high standards, with Aaron Ramsdale now providing high-class competition following his loan move from Southampton.

  7. Howe 'disappointed' after fans' Marseille experiencepublished at 15:16 GMT 28 November

    Eddie Howe says he was "desperately disappointed" after Newcastle United fans were subject to "unnecessary" force from the police after his side's Champions League game in Marseille.

    Newcastle are to launch a complaint with Uefa, Marseille and French police after what the club called "unnecessary and disproportionate force" from officers following the visitors' 2-1 defeat at Stade Velodrome.

    Eyewitness Liam Phillips said Newcastle supporters were "treated like criminals" while fellow fan Darren Curry, who was also present in Marseille, added it was "very lucky that no-one got seriously hurt".

    Club chief executive David Hopkinson spoke directly with Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis on Thursday about the matter.

    And Howe made it clear that Newcastle did not want to see "any set of supporters anywhere in the world being disrespected".

    "The one thing you want for your supporters is to go to the game, feel safe, enjoy the football match and travel home safely," the head coach said.

    "We really appreciate the support from all the away supporters. To come the distance they did, I'm sure the travel won't have been easy regardless of when you do it.

    "It's an extreme effort, extreme loyalty, and one thing we feel we should deliver for them is safety, so [I'm] desperately disappointed about that."

    Marseille police acknowledged they made "very limited use of tear gas" following a crowd surge, as Newcastle fans waited to be let out after the game, but they denied any other use of force.

    The French club stressed that the feedback sent to them by Uefa after the game "confirms the quality of the security measures implemented and their effective operational execution".

    "The club cannot accept that its responsibility be wrongly called into question," a spokesman said.

    "Finally, the club wishes to commend the rigorous and co-ordinated work of the police prefecture, whose actions ensured the smooth running of the event and the safety of all supporters."

  8. Howe on Wissa, fan treatment in Marseille & Evertonpublished at 10:10 GMT 28 November

    Nat Hayward
    BBC Sport journalist

    Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium (17:30 GMT).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Howe began with an injury update: "Nothing major from the game [against Marseille]. We will have a good look at the guys today. Sven Botman has been nursing a back problem in the last few days."

    • Kieran Trippier will be out for "around a month" after having a scan on a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, the visit to Everton is "probably too soon" for Emile Krafth who "came back from international duty with a knee issue", but Howe confirmed it is not "too serious".

    • On Yoane Wissa, who on Wednesday trained with the squad for the first time since his summer move from Brentford: "He is doing well. I was really pleased with how he looked. That's his first time competitively with the group. Let's see how he responds today."

    • On a potential return date for the DR Congo international who suffered a knee injury while on international duty in September: "We've got one in mind, but it's probably best if I keep that to myself. We don't want to disappoint anyone. Of course, we want to involve him as soon as possible."

    • Howe said "all options of course are on the table" when asked whether Aaron Ramsdale could replace Nick Pope in goal after his error in Marseille: "I need to think long and hard about who I pick and try to do that on merit. I get the luxury of seeing the players train and I will make my call."

    • He described the treatment of Newcastle fans in Marseille as "desperately disappointing", adding: "It's very sad to hear because from my perspective, the most important thing is that everyone who goes to games is that they enjoy the experience, that it's a safe experience. My thoughts are with everyone who travelled and I hope they are OK."

    • On the difficulties of navigating a busy schedule for Newcastle: "Obviously fatigue is the big one. Not always physical fatigue, sometimes it's mental fatigue. It can feel you are always preparing for a game which can bring different challenges. We are trying to keep things fresh."

    • On David Moyes and Everton: "He is a manager I respect. Huge amount of respect for him and the way he handles himself. He has done an unbelievable job at Everton. They are playing well too and have some dangerous players, especially in the wide areas."

  10. 'You need options... at this moment we haven't got them' published at 16:49 GMT 27 November

    Nick WoltemadeImage source, Getty Images

    Former Newcastle full-back John Anderson believes Yoane Wissa is a huge miss for Eddie Howe's side at the moment.

    The Magpies have scored 30 goals in 19 games across all competitions so far this season but only 13 in the Premier League and are languishing in 14th place. Anderson thinks they need 'different options' to take it up a level.

    "We do need Wissa back, there's no doubt about it because you need two players who are capable of scoring goals for you," Anderson told BBC Radio Newcastle.

    "[Nick] Woltemade has come in and he's been great. He's a different type of player but the boy's got himself six goals. Harvey Barnes has now chipped in and got himself goals as well but we need Wissa. We need different types of options and at this moment in time, we haven't got them.

    "We're playing [Anthony] Gordon through the middle - we played him there earlier in the season - and you can see it doesn't really work because he's not a natural centre-forward or, most importantly, a natural finisher.

    "The sooner these boys are back fit [the better]. I have no doubt about Wissa at all."

    Newcastle have won just three points in six matches on the road in the Premier League this campaign and Anderson partly puts it down to the loss of Alexander Isak.

    "We played to Isak's strengths," Anderson said. "He complemented us but we complemented him in the way that we played.

    "People may not like hearing this but, especially away from home this season, we've missed him because of the way we go about playing."

    After defeat at Marseille in midweek, Newcastle are back on the road in the Premier League at Everton on Saturday.

  11. 'Indiscriminate force' - fans on police treatment in Marseillepublished at 13:48 GMT 27 November

    We asked for your views and experiences after Newcastle confirmed they will complain over the treatment of supporters by French police in Marseille on Tuesday.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Zack: Surely the only punishment for this kind of thing is to block them from hosting home games until the treatment of away fans isn't war-like. A £10k fine or whatever isn't going to change anything.

    Russ: What a great stadium display from the home fans and atmosphere but the treatment of Newcastle fans not good. We were made to get to the ground via tube, which started transporting Newcastle fans from 16:30. We were in the ground from 17:15 and then couldn't leave until 01:00 and we were still not the last out. The toilets were flooding at the end of the evening into the area where we were made to stand in three centimetres of water. The police were very intimidating, heavy-handed and used indiscriminate excessive force. We were treated badly and there was no effort made to communicate with the Toon fans.

    Jim: I was sprayed with tear gas.

    James: What will it take for Uefa to establish the full facts and then take appropriate action against the parties responsible for abuse? I anticipate that a precedent has been set - e.g Champions Leaque final of 2022 in Paris but nothing of any substance. Would a ban on French clubs be fair? No, but they certainly could be made to play outside France to protect travelling fans. Would this bring about a change in police behaviour in France?

    James: Why do we want to play in Europe? I don't. It is always the same, not just for Newcastle supporters. We should boycott European competitions. They are more trouble than they are worth.

    Peter: I'm unfortunately not surprised. I had a very similar experience at the hands of police in Lyon following Manchester United a few years ago. The police were aggressive and brutal, picking individuals randomly from the queues at the turnstiles and forcing them onto buses (me included). Anyone who resisted was beaten with batons. I raised a complaint at the time but clearly nothing has changed.

    Newcastle will complain to Uefa, Marseille and French police over the "unacceptable treatment" of their supporters by French police after their side's defeat against Marseille at the Stade Velodrome on Wednesday.

    The club says French police used "unnecessary and disproportionate force" on fans after the game through "a combination of pepper spray, batons and shields" with "numerous supporters being indiscriminately assaulted by the police".
