Three axed in Allardyce 4-4-1-1: This Everton XI will destroy Newcastle
Goalkeeper and defenders
Jordan Pickford (Goalkeeper) – Pickford should be one of the first names on the team sheet after impressing throughout Everton’s disappointing season.
Jonjoe Kenny (Left-back) – The first-choice right-back should be played at left-back once again with Leighton Baines unable to play. The defender struggled in this position against Lyon but with Newcastle United struggling for goals, he should have a better chance of impressing.
Ashley Williams (Centre-back) – The defender has transformed under Allardyce back into the player he was last season, and is a reassuring presence at the back.
Phil Jagielka – The defender should be fit enough to start against Newcastle United after making an appearance as a substitute against Liverpool, the defender brings experience and leadership to the team in case things go wrong. Cuco Martina misses out.
Mason Holgate (Right-back) – The young defender did well partnering Williams in defence against Liverpool, and deserves to play against Newcastle United.
