Everton vs Newcastle United Preview

• Tournament: English Premier League
• Date: Saturday, October 5
• Kick-off Time: 04:30 pm GMT
• Venue: Goodison Park, Walton, Liverpool.

A struggling Everton FC are set to play Newcastle United at home for their seventh English Premier League 2024-25 game. The match will be like a lifeline for Everton coach Sean Dyche, as the team he guides is faring poor, with just a win and a draw and rest all losses in the six games played.

For Newcastle United, the goals are clear. They need to gather full points in the away fixture and target a stronger hold in the top half of the points table. The Magpies have three wins, two draws, and only one loss so far in their tally.

Hosts Everton have been struggling since the start of the season. To add some respite to their misery, they won their last tie against Crystal Palace. They will try to replicate the brand of football they had in the last one and salvage full points in this.

The hosts only have one injury concern, and it’s centre-forward Armando Broja suffering from Achilles tendon problems since August 29. Otherwise, they have no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

The Magpies have a lot of injury-related absentees- Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Garang Kuol, Lewis Miley, Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak, and Matt Targett. With a selection of key forwards in doubt, Eddie Howe will have it tough.

Key Players to Watch in Everton vs Newcastle United

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)

The No.9 has been great this season. He has three goal contributions in the ongoing Premier League, and two in the EFL Cup 2023-24. He is probably the biggest hope for Everton FC. He needs to strike more and find the back of the net in this game to help his team scalp full points. Some sudden shots from him can be enough to trouble the Newcastle goalie.

Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United)

With key forwards missing, Gordon will be the main man in the attack. The No. 10 has already scored two goals for the team in EPL this season, and now he has to do more. He usually is a chance creator, in this one he needs to be a goalscorer too. 

Everton vs Newcastle United Prediction

Visitors Newcastle United should win this game with ease. They have an in-form squad in their arsenal. Everton, despite having home support might lose it, as it has been observed that they are struggling to get back to winning ways.

Newcastle United have a technically better line-up to present with, in spite of so many injuries. They have also proved their class in the previous games. Everton, however, might give a strong fight and be able to net one on the counter.

Predicted Score: Everton 1-2 Newcastle United
