Branthwaite Injury! Newcastle Predictions! Dele Alli Setback! LIVE

Everton have been dealt a double injury blow ahead of their game with Newcastle United this Saturday.
Jarrad Branthwaite is facing a fitness battle and is to be assessed ahead of the game. The centre-back returned to action at the weekend, producing a solid comeback as the Blues secured their first win of the Premier League season with a comeback victory over Crystal Palace.
But whether he will be available for the Newcastle game, which takes place at 5.30pm on Saturday, is now in doubt due to the emergence of what is thought to be a quad issue that is in the process of being assessed.
In other injury news, Dele Alli has suffered a minor setback in his efforts to return to fitness. The 28-year-old is dealing with a muscle strain endured after he stepped up his rehabilitation work at Everton's Finch Farm training ground this summer.
Join Ian Croll, Gav Buckland and Joe Thomas as they sit down in the Royal Blue Studio to discuss all of the above and give their predictions for Saturday’s encounter.

Gavin's face when they were going on about goodwill with Delle. I bet he told his new friend in the bar in Portugal what he really thought! He has been an unmitigated disaster for the club. He was a disaster at Spurs for his last 3 years and was a proper disaster on loan in Turkey. It is truly the most bizarre story I have ever heard from within the club that he is anywhere near our training ground. When will our club stop treating themselves like a charity and go back to what the clubs mission was from the 80's and before - a ruthless football club who's mission was to win trophies.

Can’t understand expecting a win vs Newcastle without Branthwaite, especially when the likes of Myko and Tarky aren’t fully fit either.
Just because we CAN win doesn’t mean we SHOULD win, anyone not wearing blue tinted glasses would say Newcastle are clear favourites
