Newcastle earned a crucial first away win at Leeds before the break and with what looks to be a very good January transfer window behind them, they will come here in confident mood.
They did the double over Everton last season and may have fancied their chances before the appointment of Frank Lampard last week gave this game a different meaning. Lampard has been out of management since losing the job at Chelsea a year ago, but his presence could be enough to spark Everton into life and for that reason the draw makes most appeal, though it is worth noting these 2 teams have just 5 clean sheets between them in a combined 41 games this season.
