Everton will play their penultimate pre-season clash against Premier League opposition in Newcastle United on Wednesday.

The Toffees will make the trip north of the border to face the Magpies at Murrayfield, Edinburgh, to get more valuable minutes in the legs.

Manager David Moyes may opt to give a first run out to new signing Christian Norgaard.

The experienced Denmark midfielder joined in a £7million deal from Premier League champions Arsenal last week.

He was not involved against Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart over the weekend, but Everton fans will hope to see him get some time on Wednesday.

For any Blues supporter not able to make the trip to the Scottish capital, here is how you can watch along at home.

How I can watch Everton's friendly against Newcastle United?

Everton will be kicking off against Newcastle at 5.15pm UK time on Wednesday, so it will be a tea-time watch for supporters.

Even if you are not attending the game live, Everton fans are able to watch at home via EvertonTV.

Fans can buy a one-game pass for £5.99 to watch the game at home, while some fans might have already purchased a six-match bundle for the entire pre-season schedule at a cost of £25.

NUFCTV are also streaming the game, with their official website stating that single passes are charged at £5.99 or £6.99 depending on the pre-season fixture.

So, there are multiple ways to catch Everton in action on Wednesday if you want to check in on the Toffees' progress.

With only one more fixture to come before the Premier League season opener, David Moyes will hope to build some much-needed momentum.

How have Everton been performing in pre-season?

Everton have played five pre-season fixtures so far, and the results have been a pretty mixed bag.

The Toffees have two wins, two defeats, and one draw to their name so far in the warm-up matches.

Everton started with a 4-0 win over Dundee, before playing out a goalless draw against Bolton Wanderers and suffering a 1-0 loss to Stoke City.

Moyes' men defeated Hamburg 2-1 at the start of August before losing by a 3-1 scoreline to Stuttgart last time out.

This clash against Newcastle is their penultimate pre-season outing, with a clash against Lille to come on Saturday, 15 August.

Then it's down to the real business, with Everton welcoming Crystal Palace to Hill Dickinson Stadium for their Premier League opener on 22 August.
