When and where is kick-off?
Newcastle United host Everton in the Premier League at St James' Park on Monday 2 November 2026. Kick-off is 20:00 GMT, which is 21:00 WAT for Nigerian viewers, according to Newcastle United and Everton FC. The same clubs meet for the second time in four days after Everton beat Newcastle 3-1 in the Carabao Cup at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday night.
Newcastle United said the league fixture is live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. For WAT readers who only see UK clock times on TV guides, the conversion is fixed at +1 hour from GMT — 21:00 WAT.
What is Newcastle's team news?
Matthias Jaissle has welcomed Anthony Elanga and Jacob Ramsey back into the fold, but Tino Livramento remains absent, Newcastle United wrote in its Monday match guide. Will Osula was withdrawn at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the Cup tie.
BBC Sport reported Jaissle saying Osula "twisted his ankle when he took the shot" after James Tarkowski's challenge and that "right now, it's too early to say whether he will be fit for Monday." Jaissle also told BBC Sport Newcastle must "avoid individual mistakes" and "be more efficient" in front of goal after conceding 13 goals in their last six matches in all competitions.
Press synthesis around the same board lists Ewen Jaouen still out with a thigh issue and notes longer-term Livramento knee rehab colour, but Monday's club guide itself simply states Livramento remains absent and does not set a return date. We do not invent a starting XI from secondary doubt lists.
What is Everton's team news?
Jarrad Branthwaite is expected to be available after concussion protocols, Everton FC reported. The England defender missed Everton's previous two matches after a clash with Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez. Speaking after the 3-1 Cup win over Newcastle, David Moyes said: "Jarrad should have recovered from his concussion and also the timescale which we had to abide by," Everton FC wrote.
Jack Grealish missed the Cup tie after a "breach of club discipline," Newcastle United's preview noted, and BBC Sport's write-up of Moyes's Monday press conference says the manager did not answer when asked if Grealish could return for St James' Park. So the desk status for Grealish remains unresolved — not ruled in, not invented as available.
Moyes framed the rematch as "a different ball game going to St James' Park on a Monday evening" and praised Thierno Barry and James Garner's Cup contributions, per BBC Sport. Those lines sit as manager colour around the availability board; they are not forecasts of Monday's result.
Why does the Cup rematch matter for the board?
Four days after Everton's 3-1 Carabao Cup win — Garner, Hackney and Barry on the scoresheet with a late Burn consolation for Newcastle in the BBC/club framing — both squads turn around for a Premier League night at St James' Park.
For TuSport's Nigerian audience the practical add is the WAT clock and a reconciled injury list that does not collapse club silence into false certainty. Livramento out and Elanga/Ramsey back are club-locked. Osula is a named ankle doubt with Jaissle's "too early" quote. Branthwaite is expected per Everton FC and Moyes. Grealish stays a disciplinary question mark because Moyes refused the team-news ask.
TuSport desk: Cup rematch, WAT kick, injury board
Club sites and BBC Sport lock the same Monday frame: kick-off is 20:00 GMT at St James' Park on Monday 2 November 2026, which is 21:00 WAT for Nigerian viewers. That WAT conversion is the first desk add for evening readers who only see UK clock times on Sky listings.
Attribution map: Newcastle United confirms Elanga and Ramsey are back and Livramento remains absent, with Osula withdrawn at Hill Dickinson. Everton FC quotes Moyes that Branthwaite "should have recovered" after concussion protocols. BBC Sport records Jaissle's Osula ankle quote ("too early") and the efficiency message after conceding 13 in six. The Moyes BBC Sport presser keeps Grealish unresolved — he would not give team news — so we do not invent a return.
Desk extras: second meeting in four days after Everton's 3-1 Carabao Cup win; reconcile NUFC "Livramento remains absent" with press-side rehab colour without treating a longer return window as Monday fact; do not publish predicted XIs or score forecasts. Related PL desk reading stays on indexable batch-one pieces such as the Bournemouth–Leeds team-news board and the Šeško injury note.
What this package is: a multi-source injury and availability board plus Cup-rematch and WAT kick framing — not a thin rewrite of one club preview. What it is not: predicted line-ups as fact, or any claim about Monday's final score.
Why it matters
Monday's Premier League rematch at St James' Park (20:00 GMT / 21:00 WAT) is the second Newcastle–Everton meeting in four days after Everton's 3-1 Cup win. Availability swings — Livramento out, Branthwaite expected, Osula and Grealish unresolved — shape how both sides can rotate after the quick turnaround.
