NEWCASTLE'S home game with Everton on Sunday, March 9 has been postponed because of the Merseyside club's progress in the FA Cup.

Everton beat Swansea 3-1 in the fifth round earlier today, and will be playing a quarter-final tie against either Arsenal or Liverpool on the weekend of March 8-9.

Their home game with Newcastle will therefore have to be rescheduled for an alternative date, which will be announced in due course.
