The neutral venue is better known for hosting international rugby but Newcastle fans will swarm on the stadium. For many, it will be the first chance to see new manager Matthias Jaissle after he opened his Newcastle account in Valencia at the weekend. The head coach could call upon Dan Burn for today's game after the England star's return from World Cup duty, while Anthony Elanga should be fit after the horror tackle that saw him stretchered off in Spain. Elsewhere, new boys Lukas Hornicek, Aladji Bamba, Sean Steur and Bazoumana Toure are also set to see action. David Moyes' Everton side will represent a proper physical test and a chance to see how Newcastle's squad is shaping up with just 10 days to go before the start of the Premeir League season. Join us below for all the team news, action and analysis from our team in Edinburgh. Key Events A man revered by both clubs and Scotland, Big Duncan Ferguson is the perfect guest to have at Murrayfield today and he is here to watch his former sides do battle in Edinburgh. Mark Gillespie and Aidan Harris are out with new number one Lukas Hornicek going through their paces. After an impressive cameo from the bench, Toure gets his chance to affect things from the start this afternoon. Excited to see if he can build on an impressive start at the Mestalla. With Tino Livramento injured and a new right-back still not signed, Leo Shahar gets another opportunity to impress at right-back. The closer the season gets, the closer the possibility gets that he could start vs Liverpool. The England full-back is back and makes a welcome return. Still a concern at right-back with transfer dialogue going on as we speak. How quickly can Newcastle get their right-back in? They need to get it done ASAP. It will be interesting to see how Wissa and Osula line up. Is it a front two together or is Wissa playing in behind Osula? We will soon find out. Nick Woltemade has to make do with a place on the bench after struggling to impact things in the no.10 role on Saturday. Malick Thiaw captained the side on Saturday but now Joelinton has returned to the starting XI it is interesting to see he is captain of the side today. Clearly a decision over who succeeds Bruno Guimaraes is very much up in the air. Everton starting XI vs Newcastle: Travers, Patterson, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Hackney, Dewsbury-Hall, Armstrong; Ndiaye, George, Barry Subs: King, G Pickford, Beto, O'Brien, Dibling, Alcaraz, Rohl, Aznou, Graham, Foster Newcastle United starting XI vs Everton: Hornicek; Shahar, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Bamba, Joelinton (C); Elanga, Wissa, Toure; Osula Subs: Gillespie, Harris, Barnes, Steur, J Murphy, Woltemade, Willock, Charlton, Ramsey, Pivas, Johnson, Finneran, M Miley, Neave Despite speculation over Manchester United interest and missing Saturday's game with Valencia with a pre-agree fitness plan, Lewis Hall has arrived and is involved this evening. Ross Wilson is here along with James Bunce with the transfer market in full swing. Talk of two deals that could be close. It's good to see Anthony Elanga back on the training ground and appearing to show no ill-effects after that horror tackle on Saturday that saw Valencia captain Jose Gaya sent off and the Newcastle winger stretchered off. Fears of a bad injury were ultimately allayed, with the player able to walk out of the Mestalla with contusions on his shin, and he looks like he's fine in training this week. Everton’s pre-season form has been a mixed bag — two wins, two defeats and a draw so far, including Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Stuttgart. After facing Newcastle, at home to Lille on Saturday, before the serious business starts against Crystal Palace on August 22. Both Lewis Hall and Joe Willock in the squad despite talk of moves in recent days. We have been told that Hall is not for sale this summer but Willock's future looks less clear. Either way, they are here for tonight's clash at Murrayfield. The game tonight can be streamed by UK viewers via NUFCTV and Everton TV. A NUFC pass for members costs £5.99. US streaming is via Fubo TV, Prime Video, Paramount+, FOX Deportes, CBS Sports Golazo, FOX One. Newcastle United will be wearing their new lilac kit tonight. The kit goes on sale tomorrow! A reminder that it's a 5.15pm kick-off time for this game. A nice early start. Why? I don't know is the honest answer! A general view of Murrayfield Stadium ahead of today's game. Matthias Jaissle should have more options to choose from than those at his disposal against Valencia in his first game as Toon boss. Fabian Schar, Lewis Miley and Lewis Hall all missed that game as they continued to work towards fitness after injuries, while Dan Burn hadn't linked up with the squad after World Cup duty. Burn is now back in training and could feature, while the other three have been assessed this week. Tino Livramento remains out, however, and is unlikely to be fit for the start of the season. For David Moyes, he could give Brennan Johnson his first appearance since the winger completed his move from Crystal Palace, while Christian Norgaard is in line for more minutes, having been an unused substitute against Stuttgart at the weekend. Jordan Pickford - the Newcastle nemesis - could also be in goal after returning from World Cup action. Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Newcastle United's pre-season clash against Everton at Murrayfield. Our team in the ground will bring you all the early team news and analysis ahead of Matthias Jaissle's second game in charge.
