They will be up against it today facing a Magpies side who can move into fifth spot with a win by more than one goal.

The midweek loss to Man City in the League Cup snapped a four-game winning run but a fourth consecutive league win would go a long way to easing the pain.

Kick off is in just over 20 minutes.

First up, though, is Wolves and Newcastle's clash at Molineux.

Things have picked up for the basement club in recent weeks under Rob Edwards having finally won their first league game of the season against West Ham.

They are still a mammoth 15 points adrift of safety and likely need to win half of their remaining games to have a chance of survival.

After results went their way yesterday, Aston Villa have the chance to move into second place above Manchester City and just four points off leaders Arsenal.

Having won their last eight league games at Villa Park, they will be confident of doing just that against a depleted Everton side.

The Toffees' hopes of a result may rest on Jack Grealish, who is likely to get an interesting reception on his latest return to his boyhood club.
