Everton have won seven of their last 12 meetings with Newcastle at Goodison, losing only two, including a 3-0 victory when the pair last met on Merseyside in December, so will it be the Blues who prevail on Saturday evening?

Everton vs Newcastle United Preview

After finally claiming their first win of the season a week ago, will Everton be victorious again? Last time out, the Blues fought back from a goal down to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at home, with Dwight McNeil bagging a quick-fire brace shortly after half time, the equaliser in particular which was an absolute beauty.

This is the first time the Toffees have come from a goal down to win a Premier League game since October 2022, most-recently doing so in successive matches all the way back in February 2010. Having commenced this campaign with four straight defeats, Sean Dyche's team have now picked up four points from their last two outings, thereby climbing out of the relegation zone, so can they put three more precious points on the board?

Newcastle United meantime, in complete contrast, won three of their first four fixtures, but have failed to take three points from either of the last two. Eddie Howe's side were easily beaten 3-1 at Fulham a fortnight ago, before earning a credible 1-1 draw when Manchester City visited Tyneside last weekend; Anthony Gordon both earning and then converting a second half spot-kick.

The Magpies were also in action on Tuesday, beating AFC Wimbledon 1-0 in the EFL Cup, Fabian Schär's penalty in first half stoppage time the only goal of the night, setting up a glamour fourth round tie against Chelsea later this month. Back in the Premier League, the Toon Army will fancy their chances of a victory on Merseyside, although their team will certainly be made to fight to earn anything at Goodison.

Everton Team News

Sean Dyche could name an unchanged XI, featuring Orel Mangala at the base of midfield, thereby starting a third successive match, chosen over Idrissa Gana Gueye and Tim Iroegbunam. At the back, Jarrad Branthwaite made his first appearance of the season against Crystal Palace, and there is a direct correlation between his return and their first victory of the campaign.

Everton predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Mangala, Doucouré, Lindstrøm, McNeil, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin.

Everton Player to Watch vs Newcastle United

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has two goals to his name so far this season, while his haul of six career strikes against Newcastle is the joint-most he's managed against a single-opponent.

Newcastle United Team News

Eddie Howe made eight changes for the mid-week Carabao Cup victory, so it'll be interesting to see if any of those rotation options did enough to warrant another start. In attack, with both Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson injured, William Osula made his full debut against Wimbledon, so will he get the nod, or will Anthony Gordon continue to fill-in? In midfield, after a trio of substitute appearances, Sandro Tonali started a Premier League match for the first time in almost a year last weekend, with the Italian once again lining up alongside Joelinton who, having collected four yellow cards already, would sit out the clash with Brighton in a fortnight if cautioned again here.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Everton: (4-2-3-1): Pope; Trippier, Schär, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Murphy, Barnes, Gordon.

Newcastle United Player to Watch vs Everton

Set to be deployed as the centre-forward once again, Anthony Gordon will be extra-motivated to add to his two goals so far this season, coming up against the club he joined as an 11-year old and then represented 72 times at senior level, yet to score in two attempts against the Toffees since leaving them.

Everton vs Newcastle United Prediction

We're certain that Saturday's late kick off will be a hard-fought, feisty affair, but we're backing Newcastle to claim all three points. Everton did, belatedly, get off the mark a week ago, but still lack quality, something the Toon Army posses in abundance, even without some key figures, so a narrow Magpies victory appears the most-likely outcome: Everton 1-2 Newcastle United.
