Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Newcastle United and Everton. The first-division clash scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at St. James' Park in Newcastle and can be live streamed here free.
Though they currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, Roberto Martinez's Everton are just two points from the fifth and final European qualification spot in England. A victory over Newcastle at St. James' Park would allow the Toffees to leap Manchester United temporarily. For Martinez, it remains the club's top priority (h/t to the Guardian). "What we want to do is make sure this season affects the seasons after," said Martínez. "The only way you can do that is qualifying for Europe," he added.
"It's a big target of ours to make sure that the good work we have done this season can [help us] kick on next season. That will be [by] being in Europe. Whichever the competition."
Will Everton claim the victory to help turn their European goal into an achievement? Tell us @SportsWN
