Form and table position
Newcastle have taken eight points from seven matches and lost three of their last five recent results, though the two wins in that run keep them within range of the top half. Everton arrive with ten points from the same number of games and a more settled recent record: two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five. A win for Newcastle would lift them to eleven points from eight matches; Everton would move to thirteen from eight with three points and open a six-point gap.
The market-implied probabilities give Newcastle a 43.2 per cent chance of winning at home, Everton 31.0 per cent and the draw 25.8 per cent. The gap reflects home advantage more than recent form, which has been similar for both sides over the last month.
Recent meetings
The five most recent head-to-head meetings have produced fifteen goals in total. Newcastle lost the most recent encounter 1–3 and have won once in the last five, a 4–1 victory sandwiched between three defeats and a goalless draw. Everton took six points from the two meetings last season and have won three of the last four.
