Team news for Sunday afternoon's Premier League clash between Everton and Newcastle at Goodison Park.

Everton could welcome back Leighton Baines, Phil Neville and Darron Gibson.

Left-back Baines has been out for a month with a groin injury while utility man Neville and midfielder Gibson missed last week's draw at Wolves with unspecified knocks.

Midfielder Jack Rodwell (hamstring) and forward Victor Anichebe (groin) are both missing.

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will once again be without full-back Danny Simpson.

The full-back will miss out with the ankle problem which has sidelined him for the last two games, while striker Leon Best will also not travel because of a thigh strain.

Midfielder Sammy Ameobi (knee) is stepping up his training and only central defender Steven Taylor (Achilles) is still on the long-term injury list.

Everton (from): Howard, Heitinga, Jagielka, Distin, Hibbert, Neville, Coleman, Baines, Fellaini, Osman, Gibson, Jelavic, Gueye, Duffy, McFadden, Stracqualursi, Pienaar, Cahill, Barkley, Baxter, Hahnemann, Mucha.

Newcastle (from): Krul, Elliot, Harper, Santon, R. Taylor, Ferguson, Tavernier, Perch, Coloccini, Williamson, Tiote, Cabaye, Guthrie, Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Obertan, Marveaux, Abeid, Gosling, Vuckic, Ba, Cisse, Shola Ameobi.
