Everton vs. Newcastle United Live Stream: Watch Free English Premier League Football (EPL) Online

Everton will host Newcastle at Goodison Park tonight in the last Premier League match of the game week.

While Roberto Martinez and Everton are unbeaten in the Premier League this season, the club sits in eighth position, which is six points away from top of the table Arsenal.

Last week's 2-1 loss to Fulham ended Everton's Capital One Cup hopes for another year, but hope still remains even though Marouane Fellaini left for Manchester United.

Still, Everton has gone on to beat Chelsea and West Ham United this month and one of the new arrivals, Gareth Barry, is now set to become only the tenth player to make 500 Premier League appearances if he is featured against Newcastle.

Newcastle United, currently at the bottom end of the table in 15th, comes into this match after beating Leeds United midweek in the Capital One Cup. Their previous result in the Premier League was not as good, but Martinez knows better than to underestimate his opponent.

"You're talking about top, top footballers who are in a good moment in their careers and full internationals. You take away the Manchester City game and they've been performing at a very, very good level, so it would be foolish for anyone to underestimate the potential of this Newcastle side," Martinez told reporters.

Newcastle was outplayed by newly promoted Hull City at St James' Park and Alan Pardew's side went down 3-2 after winning their previous three matches before that result.

The Magpies have only won once at Everton in their last nine visits, with last season's encounter at Goodison Park resulting in an entertaining 2-2 draw, and have only won three of their last 22 away games in the Premier League.

Goalkeeper Tim Krul has also revealed that he has had to do extra homework to prepare for the threat of Leighton Baines after the full-back scored twice from free-kicks against West Ham.

Kickoff for the match is at 3 p.m. ET and can be watched online here.
