Newcastle vs Everton Preview
- Tournament – Premier League
- Date – Tuesday, April 02, 2024
- Kick-off Time – 07:30 pm GMT
- Venue – St. James’ Park
Everton have been dreadful this season and are without a win in their last 12 league matches. They are sitting three points above the relegation zone and haven’t won a single league fixture since mid-December. The Toffees remain in a hairy position as they have lost their last three trips to St. James’ Park.
They will take on Newcastle United, who have moved up to 8th position in the Premier League table. Their European hopes still remain alive as they are only a point behind West Ham United. Newcastle have not lost to Everton in their last three home game. The Magpies crashed out of the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester City just before the international break. Despite their unconvincing form this campaign, Newcastle are surely capable of securing three points at St. James’ Park against a weaker Everton side and move to the European spots.
Newcastle vs Everton Team News
Everton will be without Arnaut Danjuma and Lewis Dobbin owing to their respective injuries. But manager Sean Dyche remains hopeful Vitaliy Mykolenko recovers from his illness for the midweek tie.
On the other hand, the Magpies were boosted by the return of Anthony Gordon who made his England debut in the last game. But the former Everton player was sent off in Newcastle’s dramatic comeback win against West Ham and will remain suspended. But players like Kieran Trippier, Nick Pope, Callum Wilson, and Joelinton remain unavailable for selection.
Valentino Livramento will operate as a right-back in the absence of club captain Kieran Trippier.

Newcastle vs Everton Prediction
The Magpies are certainly the heavy favorites coming into this fixture. They would love to maintain their momentum after an emphatic win over West Ham in the last game. Newcastle came from two goals down to win 4-3 against David Moyes’ men over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Everton have also failed to gather any consistent runs this season. They are winless in their last 12 league games and they are close to breaking the all-time record of 14 games, which happened before World War II. They are only three points above the relegation zone and bagging three points will be crucial for Sead Dyche’s men.
