Newcastle United continue their pre-season campaign with a friendly clash against Everton at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh. The neutral venue, typically known for international rugby, is expected to be filled with Newcastle fans eager to see new manager Matthias Jaissle in action after his debut in Valencia. Manager Matthias Jaissle could call upon Dan Burn, recently returned from World Cup duty, while Anthony Elanga is also expected to be fit. New signings Lukas Hornicek, Aladji Bamba, Sean Steur, and Bazoumana Toure are also set to feature. David Moyes' Everton side will provide a physical test and an opportunity to assess Newcastle's squad with the Premier League season just 10 days away.
