Everton team news:

Everton's Tim Cahill will miss Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash with Newcastle and there are also slight doubts over Phil Neville and Louis Saha.

Cahill will begin a three-match ban following his sending off in the Merseyside derby last week while Neville and Saha both picked up knocks in the UEFA Cup defeat at Standard Liege.

Tony Hibbert suffered severe cramp in the same match but is expected to be fit.

Provisional squad: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Lescott, Baines, Neville, Yobo, Osman, Arteta, Yakubu, Saha, Anichebe, Pienaar, Nash, Castillo, Nuno Valente, Rodwell.

Newcastle team news

Newcastle interim manager Joe Kinnear could be handed a triple boost as he prepares for Sunday's Barclays Premier League trip to Everton.

Kinnear, who will complete his own two-game touchline ban at Goodison Park, will welcome back midfielder Danny Guthrie from suspension, while full-backs Jose Enrique (hamstring) and Habib Beye (Achilles) have a chance of making the squad.
Jonas Gutierrez (fractured collarbone) has returned from Argentina and could be back in business for Manchester City's visit to St James' Park on October 20, but Mark Viduka (Achilles) is out for another six weeks and Alan Smith (stress fracture) three months. In addition, Ignacio Gonzalez (hamstring) and the suspended Joey Barton are still missing.

Provisional squad: Given, Harper, Beye, Edgar, Enrique, N'Zogbia, Taylor, Coloccini, Cacapa, Bassong, Tozer, Butt, Guthrie, Geremi, Duff, Donninger, Owen, Xisco, Ameobi, Donaldson, Ranger, Danquah.
