Everton entertain Newcastle United at Goodison Park in Premier League action on Thursday.
The game was originally scheduled to take place in round 20 of the league.
The hosts have suffered four losses in a row in the league and are only above the relegation zone on goal difference as 18th-placed Watford also have 22 points to their name.
Newcastle United's eight-game unbeaten run in the league came to an end as they fell to a 1-0 loss at Chelsea, with Kai Havertz scoring a winning goal in the 89th minute. The visitors are now closer to the upper half of the table than the relegation zone.
Both sides will be looking to return to winning ways in this midweek fixture before the international break kicks off next week.

Everton vs Newcastle United Prediction
The home side have recorded five of their six wins in the league at home but have just one win in their last 11 league games. Newcastle have just one loss to their name in their last 10 games. The loss at Chelsea was their only defeat in their travels in 2022.
There are significant absentees for both sides as Yerry Mina, Fabian Delph, and Tom Davies are ruled out for the game while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a doubt for the Toffees.
Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier will be missing for the visiting side. The visitors are in better form than the hosts and should be able to come out on top here.
