FREE TO WATCH: Highlights from West Ham's draw against Everton in the Premier League
Team news
Everton will be without Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Alex Iwobi for the visit for Newcastle.
Richarlison missed Saturday's draw at West Ham with a knee complaint while Sigurdsson has a groin injury. Iwobi has a hamstring strain and is close to a return, but Tuesday's game will come too soon.
absentees Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin remaining out.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is confident his striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has the quality to play for England.
Newcastle's Jetro Willems is out of the game at Goodison Park as he faces up to missing the rest of the season through injury.
Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has confirmed that injuries have ruled out Jetro Willems and Paul Dummett for the rest of the season.
The 25-year-old, who is on loan at St James' Park from Eintracht Frankfurt, ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during Saturday night's 1-0 win over Chelsea, and he has been joined on the long-term casualty list by fellow defender Paul Dummett, who may need surgery to repair a tendon.
Defenders Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Ritchie, midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and striker Allan Saint-Maximin all came through the weekend victory unscathed on their returns from injury, but wing-back DeAndre Yedlin (knee), midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng (knock) and frontmen Andy Carroll (hip) and Yoshinori Muto (knock) continue to fight their way back to fitness and Javier Manquillo and Dwight Gayle (both hamstring) are still out.
Steve Bruce said he makes no apologies for setting his side up to be organised and hard to beat as Hayden's stoppage time goal won it for Newcastle .
There have been a few games where Newcastle have not turned up. Has Steve Bruce done a better job than Rafa Benitez? I have said yes numerous times. Are they scoring more goals? Probably not, but he is getting a tune out of Miguel Almiron, while Joelinton looked like a proper centre forward at the weekend. His form has been average to say the least but he keeps getting there.
I thought Everton were fortunate to get a draw against West Ham - their team does not seem right. I am a fan of Bernard, although he does not get through the 90 minutes with consistent class. He is like Joao Moutinho, he has a lovely balance to find the pass but does not do it often enough.
Anthony Gordon came on and played well on his debut, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored again. Carlo Ancelotti is not afraid to make changes, and showed an aggressive side to make those during the game. I am never overly convinced by Everton and for that reason I am going for a draw.
