Strikers boost for Souness

Newcastle boss Graeme Souness will welcome back his £32m (€46.8m) strikeforce of Alan Shearer and Michael Owen back at Everton on Sunday, admitting their return could be a double-edged sword.

The Magpies head for Goodison Park determined to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat at Chelsea last weekend, a match in which they competed well before being punished for defensive errors.
