Everton boss David Moyes:
"I know we got knocked out but I thought they played with more confidence and played better. "They showed a great attitude to try and turn it around against Standard Liege and they are trying to make things better. "I was more pleased with that performance than any other this season so that is a positive and we need to use that in the Newcastle game and try and get three points from it." Newcastle interim manager Joe
Kinnear: "The next game is always the most important one. It's a big game. We lost 3-1 there in the final game of last season, and we need to address that and put it right. "We really need to get ourselves out of the position we are in. The last thing we want to be doing is being in the position where we are in the international break with players moping around. "It would have a feel-good factor for the following two weeks if we were to go there and get a decent result." |

Joe Kinnear becomes the 13th different
manager - permanent or caretaker - to select a Newcastle United side for
a Premier League match. However, the 61 year old interim boss will still
have to watch the match from the stands as he serves out his two-match
ban issued four years ago when in charge of Nottingham Forest. Kinnear's last experience of management in the Premier League was none too successful, winning one of his last 17 league games in charge of Wimbledon in the 1998-99 season. For Newcastle United Danny Guthrie is available after suspension, while Jose Enrique and Habib Beye are both back in the squad, however, only Enrique is likely to play any part. Jonas Gutierrez (fractured collarbone) is nearing a return but Mark Viduka, Alan Smith, Obafemi Martins, Andy Carroll and Kazenga LuaLua remain long-term absentees. Whilst controversial loan signing, Nacho Gonzalez, appears to have disappeared and again isn't involved. Everton will be without Tim Cahill who serves the first of a three-game ban for his dismissal against Liverpool. Phil Neville and Louis Saha picked up knocks in the midweek defeat to Standard Liege and are slight doubts. Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear has hinted that Shola Amoebi will be preferred to Xisco to partner Michael Owen upfront. The Spanish U21 international has looked out of depth in his Premierships outings so far, and with injuries to Viduka, Martins and Smith gives Shola yet another chance to cement a place in the starting line-up. The omens are not good for the Magpies, Newcastle are in danger of suffering five successive league defeats for the first time in the Premier League, whilst Everton are unbeaten in six home Premier League games against Newcastle, winning the last four. However, the Toffeemen are not in good form themselves as they could tumble to four successive home defeats for the first time in their Premier League history. |

Did you know? - Newcastle have not left Goodison Park with all three Premier League points since their 1-3 victory on 27 October 2001, when Craig Bellamy, Nol Solano and Clarence Acuna scored their goals. |
