Newcastle could qualify for the Champions League with a win against an in-form Everton this Sunday.

Newcastle United could find themselves in the Champions League come Sunday evening after they travel to Everton for their final game of the season.

Alan Pardew's side need to beat the Toffees and hope for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur to drop points if they are to enter European club football's most prestigious tournament.

Meanwhile, a win for Everton would see them finish above local rivals Liverpool in the table for the first time since 2005.

Leighton Baines and Darron Gibson are doubts for David Moyes's side, while Royston Drenthe remains suspended after being disciplined by the club.

Newcastle have no new injury concerns ahead of the match on Merseyside.

Current form:

Everton: DWDDWD
Newcastle: WWWLWL

Possible lineups:

Everton: Howard; Hibbert, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines; Osman, Neville, Gibson, Neville, Pienaar; Fellaini; Jelavic

Newcastle: Krul; Santon, Coloccini, Williamson, Perch; Gutierrez, Tiote, Cabaye; Ben Arfa; Ba, Cisse

Sports Mole says: 1-1
