Premier League title race: Man City maintain healthy lead at top
Newcastle United host Everton at St. James' Park on Tuesday in their first game since a hectic January transfer window. Express Sport explores how Eddie Howe could set his team out in the clash between Premier League strugglers, including potentially handing out two debuts.
Since Howe's Newcastle arrival, Martin Dubravka has been his first-choice goalkeeper, and he should start between the sticks again on Tuesday.
He has conceded just two goals in his last three Premier League games for the Magpies, keeping a clean sheet in the 1-0 triumph against Leeds United last time out.

Defence: Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Targett
Howe signed three players to bolster the entirety of his defensive line in January - right-back Kieran Trippier, centre-back Dan Burn and left-back Matt Targett.
Trippier has been ever-present since joining from Atletico Madrid, impressing many in all three of his appearances so far.
He will start again on the right, and Howe should hand Aston Villa loanee Targett his Magpies debut on the opposite side.
Burn is a doubt due to a toenail infection, so Jamaal Lascelles will likely captain the side again alongside Fabian Schar in central defence.
