Newcastle vs Everton

Match preview

Newcastle return to St. James' Park looking to steady their season after an inconsistent run of results that has left them sitting eighth in the table. Eddie Howe's side has managed just one win from their last five outings and will be eager to improve upon a mixed home record so far.

Everton make the trip across the country positioned just three points behind their hosts in eleventh place. While the visitors are still searching for their first away victory of the campaign, they arrive with some defensive resilience, having picked up consecutive draws in recent weeks.

This fixture produced plenty of entertainment last term, highlighted by a five-goal thriller on Tyneside earlier in the year followed by a convincing away win for the Magpies on Merseyside. Both teams enter this latest meeting striving to find greater consistency as the autumn schedule gathers pace.
