Howe keen to build momentum ahead of crucial period for Newcastle

Newcastle host Everton in the Premier League tomorrow afternoon and Howe outlined the importance of building rhythm ahead of a crucial period in their campaign. The Magpies have won four of their last five games in all competitions.

“We have got to build our rhythm back at St. James' Park. Hopefully, now we can build some rhythm and get a good feeling back at our home ground - it is really important for us," Howe said to the media at a press conference on Friday.

"Everton have done well on their travels this year. They're a tough team to beat. Defensively, they have been very strong. Historically, from David's [Moyes] teams, they're difficult to score against."
