Preview | December 7

Everton-Newcastle United

Everton look to turn the tables in Newcastle match.

Everton | WLWDW | 18th | Top Scorer: A. Doucouré (4)

Everton have won 3 of their last 5 and they'll come into this match full of confidence they can keep their good run going. The Toffees' defence has impressed this season as they rank 8th in the EPL for xGA (expected goals against). They may be tested in this match though, as opponents Newcastle bring along a top scoring attack averaging 2.3 goals per match. Jack Harrison leads the way with assists this season and has 3 so far (15th in the EPL).

Newcastle | WWLWD | 6th | Top Scorer: C. Wilson (7)

Newcastle have won 3 of their last 5 and they'll come into this match full of confidence they can keep their good run going. Goal chances have been frequent, their last 5 matches average xG (expected goals) of 1.71 has been 7th highest in the league over that span. Anthony Gordon isn't shy in front of goal. He's taken 27 shots at goal this season, a tally that puts him 21st in the Premier League for shots taken. Nick Pope has been a stone wall - he's recorded 17 saves and allowed 5 goals over his last 5.

Everton-Newcastle Prediction: 1-2

This is a tough one to call but Newcastle look to be the most likely to find the back of the net and take the points.

Did you know? In 2023 Newcastle visited Everton and won 4-1. That stands as the most goals the Toffees have conceded at home to the Magpies in the history of this matchup in the Premier League.

Is this the start of something special for Everton? Will Newcastle win to make it 3 wins from 3? If you like the look of our prediction, you can bet on that, and much more, at PokerStars Sports.

Everton – Season Preview

Nickname: The Toffees
Stadium: Goodison Park (Capacity 39,572)
Manager: Sean Dyche (ENG)
Last Season: 17th

Everton come into this season on the back of a second successive relegation scrap and Manager Sean Dyche promised big changes to avoid a similar campaign this time around. But it’s been a summer of few arrivals at Goodison Park and it’s hard to envisage a dramatic change of fortunes for Dyche’s side this season.

Key Player: Abdoulaye Doucoure

Frozen out by previous manager Frank Lampard, Doucoure thrived under Sean Dyche, scoring 5 goals in his final 10 matches of the season. His stunning second-half volley against Bournemouth on the final day of last season ensured Everton’s Premier League status and it’s no surprise the Toffees have decided to extend his contract by another year.

Star Signing: Arnaut Danjuma (LOAN €4.2m)

The Villarreal striker snubbed Everton at the start of the year and joined Tottenham in dramatic fashion. But Danjuma’s impact at Spurs was minimal and the 26-year-old will be hoping it’s a case of second time lucky as he joins the Toffees on a season-long loan. Scoring goals was a huge problem for Everton last season, but Danjuma has proven attacking versatility which will be needed to keep Sean Dyche’s side out of a relegation battle this season.

First Match: Fulham (H) August 12

Fulham ended a five-match losing streak in style when they beat Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park towards the end of last season.

Predicted Finish: 15th

In recent years, Everton have grown accustomed to battling for survival and Manager Sean Dyche is of a similar mould. Before departing in April 2022, Dyche had kept Burnley in the Premier League for six seasons running and his direct, defensive football is a good fit for an Everton squad clearly lacking in quality and depth. 

Will Dyche’s defensive setup prove the difference, or will Everton’s 70-year stay in the Premier League finally end?

Everton - To be relegated: 4.00

(odds correct as of July 31, 2023 and subject to change)

Did you know? Playing in 120 of 124 seasons, Everton hold the record for most seasons played in the top flight.
