Newcastle lost 3-1 at Goodison on the final day of last season and Jagielka is keen to see how the Magpies fare this time around after last term's fifth-placed finish. He added: "They have been up there competing and spent a lot of money recently. "After getting promoted they kicked on massively last season and had quite a number of players who had a fantastic season scoring a lot of great goals. "It will be interesting to see how they do this season because it is harder to have a special second season."
