Beto, Seamus Coleman start - Everton line-ups for Newcastle United
Joe Thomas - Caution over Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Beto starts up top for me. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the main man but he is so important I would be happy if the caution over his return extended tonight. I also think Beto will only develop his understanding of the Premier League and his team-mates’ intuition with competitive minutes and Saturday showed Everton can win with Calvert-Lewin absent.

Everton's number nine was also out for the trip to the City Ground last Saturday but after being pictured in the Finch Farm gym on Monday, Dyche said the
