Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is wary of facing Everton tomorrow under new manager Frank Lampard.

Everton defeated Brentford in the FA Cup for Lampard's first game in charge on Saturday.

"Every new manager naturally changes the dynamics slightly and asks them to do different things," said Howe. "Frank [Lampard] will have his philosophy which was evident against Brentford. They have a strong team so we'll have to be at our very best to win."

On building on his side's 1-0 win at Leeds on 22 January, he continued: "You look back at the Leeds game for us and you see the performance and the physical effort we gave - some of our best fitness markers of the season we hit in that match and we're going to have to repeat that here."

Howe also spoke of Callum Wilson's calf injury: "As always with these types of injuries, it's not absolutely clear. We go more on how he feels than a specific time given by physios or doctors. It's been slow progress for him - he's off crutches now and walking normally, which is a big step."
