'This is a big test for Newcastle today'
By Craig Hope At Goodison Park
This is a big test for Newcastle today. It was the question I put to Eddie Howe yesterday – why do you look like an away team away from home? To give that context, Newcastle at their best away from home play exactly how they do at home - all intensity and attacking intent.
So far this season, they've been poor on the road. So while last weekend at home to Manchester City was much improved, Howe agreed that this game will be more informative as to whether his team truly are back to their best.
