Hello and welcome to our LIVE minute-by-minute coverage of Everton’s trip to Newcastle United. Team news to follow.

As Janmaat bundles over Barkley with a shove, and it's a clear booking, but the referee lets him off with just another warning.

This been a wildly bad game in terms of quality, and now it might get worse...

Mirallas is tripped after ages of Everton possession, and they might actually cross this into the box.

Wijnaldum meets a cross from Sissoko, just inside the box, and he sends a header wide.

Barry catches Perez as he turns the ball around the corner, and he's booked.

Newcastle keep the pressure up, but the move breaks down as Colback, or possibly Dummett, can't send in a cross.

Mitrovic stumbles in the box and can't find room to get a shot away. Everton clear for a throw on the right.

Perez almost gets behind the defence, or rather, he does, but he almost gets hold of the ball before Howard sprints out to claim.

Now Mitrovic shows up Everton's profligacy, heading just wide from Sissoko's deflected cross.

Lukaku bursts down the inside right, sizes up Elliot, and then drills a shot straight at the 'keeper.

Lukaku controls Coleman's chipped ball into the box, and Coloccini wraps arms with the striker and brings him down, with no penalty awarded.

Lukaku has a shot from distance, but his effort from outside the box is dragged wide.

Janmaat is set free by Sissoko on the overlap, his ball from the right is met by a diving Mitrovic, but it's well wide of goal.

And Culkin has a similarly cutting point to make about Newcastle's efforts. Cleverley sends in a cross from the right that drifts behind goal.

Everton are, as Nakrani says, struggling in one way.

A rare foray forward for Newcastle.

Mirallas cuts inside from the right, spinning onto his left foot. He drills a shot at goal, but Elliot is behind it easily.

Some respite for Newcastle, with a couple of minutes without an Everton shot. They're struggling to put passes together, though.

Mitrovic catches Barry in midfield, just inside the Newcaslte half.

Lukaku's cross is beaten away by Elliot, but there was little danger.

Everton continue to make my prediction loo foolish, as Newcastle seem to lose evermore ambition.
