Newcastle – Everton

Newcastle host Everton at St. James’ Park in a clash that could see the Magpies climb out of the lower mid‑table. Currently sitting 12th with eight points from seven games, Newcastle have struggled offensively, netting just ten while conceding fourteen. Everton sit a little higher in eighth place, holding ten points and enjoying a modest positive goal difference of +1 after scoring eight and letting in seven. The two sides have already met this season, and a positive result for Newcastle would tighten the gap to the top half, while Everton will look to extend their advantage and push back into the European‑qualification spots.
