Follow live coverage as Everton face Newcastle United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Everton FC 0 - 0 Newcastle United FC

18:42
From the right byline, Gordon's lofted delivery to Joelinton is laid back into Tonali's path. The Italian midfielder sees his shot blocked, before Everton clear the danger. Newcastle seem to have picked up where they left off before half-time.

Newcastle United kick off, and we are back under way at Goodison Park!

18:35
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that it's still 0-0, as both teams have failed to score in five of seven Premier League first-halves so far this season. Everton have won just one of their last 11 top-flight matches when drawing at the interval, but if they can get Calvert-Lewin more involved after half-time, three points might be theirs for the taking. Newcastle, meanwhile, would love to have Isak available.

18:30
Despite dominating the ball at Goodison Park, Newcastle United have been frustrated by hosts Everton, and this Premier League clash remains goalless at half-time. The highlight - certainly from the home fans' perspective - was Gordon's penalty miss, after Tarkowski had hauled down Tonali in the area, with Pickford proving the hero with a vital save. Bruno Guimaraes also saw a shot cleared off the line, and the Magpies' xG stands at 0.13 to Everton's 0.07 so far. Though they've barely tested Pope, the Toffees are still very much in this contest, and could yet take just one goal to secure long-awaited back-to-back wins.

18:24
HALF-TIME: EVERTON 0-0 NEWCASTLE UNITED
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:24
Selfless pressing from Garner and Calvert-Lewin keeps Newcastle penned into their own half for a while. When they finally break free, Murphy crosses for Gordon, whose nod-down is mishit by Joelinton. That's surely the last chance of goal in this first half.
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:22
Having put in plenty of effort to absorb Newcastle's attacking play, Everton seem a little tired now. They are under constant pressure: the visitors have had 87% of possession over the past 10 minutes.
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:19
Due to the delay for two VAR interventions, at least six minutes will be added to the end of this first half. That's certainly long enough for one side or the other to break the deadlock. Newcastle look likeliest.
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:16
Gordon has made more than twice as many sprints as any other player today, and he is also top of the stats for applying pressure. He may attract criticism for his penalty miss, but the England winger is certainly rising to the occasion.
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:15
Yellow Card Dwight James Matthew McNeil
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:14
An outswinging corner from the left is punched partly clear by Pickford; when the ball is sent back in by Gordon, Burn nods it down for Joelinton. However, the Brazilian fires way off target with an ambitious attempt.
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:12
After Barnes breaks into the box, the ball runs for Gordon, who is poised to shoot from close range. He's denied again, though, as Keane is alert and sweeps up the danger. Everton are under a lot of pressure now - will they hold out until half-time?
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:10
As Gordon is today's Goodison Park villain, Everton's fans are now in full voice. Pickford made the save, but perhaps Newcastle's main man could've struck that spot-kick with a little more conviction.
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:08
PENALTY MISS! Gordon misses from the spot on his return to Goodison! Newcastle spurn a great chance to lead 1-0! Pickford guesses right and dives across to save Gordon's tame penalty attempt using his legs, denying his England team-mate - the crowd go wild!
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:06
Penalty Save Jordan Lee Pickford
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:06
PENALTY FOR NEWCASTLE? The VAR has called the referee over to check his pitchside monitor! Tarkowski very obviously hauls over Tonali by his shirt and drags him to the turf - it's missed by the on-field officials, but surely that's got to be a spot-kick!
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:06
Penalty Miss Anthony Michael Gordon
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:04
Perhaps a little frustrated at failing to break down Everton's deep-lying defence, Murphy tries his luck from more than 20 yards out. It's sent curling over the crossbar, without ever troubling Pickford.
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:02
Newcastle have had some 64% of possession to this point, but aside from Bruno Guimaraes coming within inches of scoring, they've not tested Pickford much so far. Can they vary their attacking play a little more, or move the ball more quickly?
Everton vs Newcastle United
18:00
After Gordon is shut down inside Everton's area, the home side break forward at speed. However, Mangala shoots into a covering defender from 20 yards out and the move eventually peters out.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:59
Garner is back in place now, as Everton build play through midfield, hoping to feed Calvert-Lewin. The latter has already posed plenty of problems for Newcastle's back four.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:57
Having received treatment from the medics, Garner is made to wait before rejoining the fray. Play resumes without him, so Everton are momentarily down to 10 men.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:56
The intense action is paused momentarily, as Garner has been left down on the pitch following a tackle. Several players take the opportunity to take on a drink or some tactical instruction from one of the coaches.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:55
It's a pleasingly open encounter so far, and as we approach the midpoint of the first half, neither side has yet seized control. Everton look very threatening on the counter-attack, while Newcastle are taking a more patient approach.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:53
NO GOAL! Everton's joy is short-lived, as Doucoure was indeed offside when heading home Garner's excellent cross from the right flank. Their opener is chalked off by the VAR!
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:52
EVERTON IN FRONT? Sending Goodison Park wild with delight, Doucoure breaks the deadlock! However, soon after his header from a Garner cross hits the back of the net, the VAR initiates a goal review! Will it stand?
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:49
Goal Abdoulaye Doucouré

This time, Pickford makes a straightforward save. Murphy tries his best to open up a shooting angle just inside Everton's area, but when he ultimately lets fly, his shot is steered straight at the goalkeeper.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:47
Pope easily fields a low shot from Calvert-Lewin, who surges between two defenders and runs directly towards the edge of the area. His finally effort lacks threat, but that's another warning sign for Newcastle.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:47
An awkward fall sees Gordon tumble to the turf under a midfield challenge from Mangala. He receives very little sympathy from the home fans and eventually is able to get back to his feet.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:44
Joelinton rises highest to meet a direct ball forward, flicking it on for Barnes on the left flank, but - after a long pause - the assistant's flag is raised to indicate he was offside.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:43
OFF THE LINE! Ndiaye is Everton's saviour - he keeps the score at 0-0! Bruno Guimaraes laces an angled volley towards the target from close range, but he's denied by a goal-line clearance! That was so close to an opening goal for the visitors!
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:42
Eventually penalised for a high boot, Calvert-Lewin steals the ball from Trippier in Newcastle's box, then volleys wide of the target by some distance. It's been a bright enough start from Everton.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:39
A velvet touch from Harrison brings Pickford's latest long ball out of the sky, but he can't find a team-mate in the area and Everton's counter-attack breaks down.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:37
Pickford pumps the ball straight out of play, as Everton take the direct route into Newcastle's defensive third. The hosts are not concerned with style, so it's sure to be a constant theme throughout this game.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:35
Wearing white and green today, Newcastle United have made a positive start, as they try to quieten a noisy home crowd. Hope has been renewed among Everton fans after finally getting a win last weekend.

Everton kick off, and we are under way at Goodison Park!

The players are out on the pitch, and kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:28
Newcastle are again without last season's top scorer Alexander Isak, who sustained a broken toe in last month's win at Wolves. Therefore, Everton academy graduate Gordon will start up front for the Magpies at Goodison. Lewis Miley and Callum Wilson are still sidelined, in addition to long-term absentees Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:23
After Jarrad Branthwaite's long-awaited return last weekend, a quad issue keeps Everton's key defender out of action today, so Keane deputises in central defence. Garner and Harrison are also brought into the hosts' starting XI, with Sean Dyche dropping Lindstrom to the bench and losing Vitalii Mykolenko to injury.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:18
SUBS: Odysseas Vlachodimos, John Ruddy, Emil Krafth, William Osula, Tino Livramento, Miguel Almiron, Lloyd Kelly, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff.

Everton vs Newcastle United
17:12
Having made their best start to a top-flight campaign for over a decade, Newcastle United have moved into seventh spot in the Premier League table and could reach fourth place today. After last week's 1-1 draw with Manchester City, the Magpies edged out AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup, with a Fabian Schar penalty sending them through to face Chelsea in the next round. Eddie Howe's men were only able to take one point off Everton last term, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin's late penalty denied them victory when the teams last met in April.
Everton vs Newcastle United
17:07
Aiming to build upon their first Premier League win of the season, Everton will hope to sign off for the international break with back-to-back victories. After failing to hold onto several leads, the Toffees beat Crystal Palace 2-1 last weekend, moving out of the Premier League's relegation zone. However, their recent record against today's opponents does not bode well: before winning 3-0 at Goodison last season - with all the goals coming during a frantic final 10 minutes - Everton had lost five of their previous six against Newcastle United.
