Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Yerry Mina is on for Richarlison, who takes an age to leave the field.
Meanwhile, a note is passed to Bernard. He reads it and puts it down his shorts. As you do.
Newcastle make two changes
Ki for Longstaff, Yedlin for Manquillo
Everton captain Coleman out due to illness shortly before kick-off
Kenny comes in to starting side, while Richarlison in for Walcott, Gomes in for Schneiderlin
Newcastle start game six points above drop zone

Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Kenedy is on for Matt Ritchie.
Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Oh dear. Everton have so much space on the break and Gylfi Sigurdsson swings the ball into Richarlison's path with a straight run on goal.
But Richarlison's first touch is dreadful and Paul Dummett gets across to slide in.
Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Bernard stands up his man and swings in a low cross from the left, where Dominic Calvert-Lewin looks to get in the way of Gylfi Sigurdsson.
But Calvert-Lewin does really well, spinning away to get the ball to his right before fizzing a shot just wide.
Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Fabian Schar is on edge and takes out his frustration at a decision against his side by throwing the ball into the ground.
That's a booking and 10 for the season so he'll miss the next two matches. Not smart.
Newcastle 1-2 Everton
No, no, no. Paul Dummett has just robbed his own side of an equaliser.
The corner is poor but Everton's attempt to clear is even worse and Matt Ritchie has so much space to swing in a cross to the far post.
Dummett rises and loops a header high over the bar, with Salomon Rondon poised right behind him to nod it in.
Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Idrissa Gueye gets back to nick the ball off Isaac Hayden. Corner to Newcastle...
Newcastle 1-2 Everton
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is late and catches Florian Lejeune. St James' Park roar for a booking but Lee Mason gives just a free-kick.
Looked worse in real time. Replay shows Calvert-Lewin was just trying to block the clearance.
Salomon Rondon
What a goal! What a brilliant goal!
Isaac Hayden plays a long, somewhat hopeful ball up towards Ayoze Perez, who has only Salomon Rondon with him against four Everton defenders.
No matter. Perez rises to win the header back to Rondon and turns into the area.
Rondon slides the pass to Perez and peels off before Perez stands up a delicious chip that Rondon volleys past Jordan Pickford from 12 yards.
Delightful.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
The corner is flicked dangerously across the six-yard area and put back in but Everton get it clear.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Matt Ritchie swings in a cross from the right that hits Lucas Digne in a sensitive area.
Newcastle get a corner and Digne gets a bit of treatment, grimacing all the while.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Matt Ritchie has now pushed up to right midfield and half-time replacement Paul Dummett is on the left of a back four.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Michael Keane launches himself towards the cross-in but it's cleared by Newcastle, who then win the goal-kick.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Yet again Lucas Digne finds oceans of room down the left, this time from Gylfi Sigurdsson's reverse pass.
Fabian Schar gets across to block it out for a corner.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Jordan Pickford sticks his tongue out to the Newcastle fans, entering full pantomime villain mode.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Lucas Digne again gets in down the left and fizzes a low cross into the area, which Ki Sung-yeung just about deflects out for a throw.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
A long ball over the top from deep towards Salomon Rondon, who uses his strength to hold off Jonjoe Kenny and then gets to the ball before Jordan Pickford, poking it beyond the Everton keeper.
But the ball bounces agonisingly wide of the far post.
Another big let-off for Pickford. He's been erratic today, if you're being kind. He's been awful, if you're not.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Lovely combination between Lucas Digne and Bernard down the left to work space for the cross but Newcastle clear.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
More bad news for Newcastle - Cardiff have scored again.
Newcastle 0-2 Everton
Jordan Pickford is the most hated man in Newcastle right now and gets an even bigger cacophony of boos.
He then bangs his clearance out on the full and the boos duly turn to jeers.
