Everton vs Newcastle United Preview

Everton welcome Newcastle United to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday evening looking to build on their recent upturn in form. The Toffees head into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 victory away at Manchester United on 24th November, a result that followed their 2-0 home win over Fulham on 8th November. Prior to those victories, they drew 1-1 at Sunderland on 3rd November. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered consecutive defeats, losing 3-0 at home to Tottenham on 26th October and 2-0 away at Manchester City on 18th October. That mixed run of results leaves them with two wins, one draw and two losses from their last five outings across all competitions.

Newcastle arrive on Merseyside in contrasting form, having lost 2-1 away at Marseille in the Champions League on 25th November. Before that setback, they secured a 2-1 home victory over Manchester City on 22nd November in Premier League action. Their recent record also includes a 3-1 loss at Brentford on 9th November, a 2-0 away win against Athletic Club in the Champions League on 5th November, and a 3-1 defeat at West Ham United on 2nd November. The Magpies have managed two wins and three losses from their last five matches, with their defensive vulnerabilities evident in conceding eight goals during that spell.

The head-to-head record slightly favours Everton, who have won two of the last five meetings with one Newcastle victory and two draws. Most recently, Everton claimed a 1-0 away win at Newcastle on 25th May 2025, while the sides also drew 0-0 at Everton on 5th October 2024 and 1-1 at Newcastle on 2nd April 2024.

Everton are expected to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation with Mykolenko, Grealish, Alcaraz, Tarkowski, Pickford, Dewsbury-Hall, Barry, Keane, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye, and Garner forming the likely starting eleven. Newcastle will counter with a 4-3-3 setup featuring Livramento, Murphy, Guimarães, Thiaw, Pope, Woltemade, Tonali, Schär, Barnes, Joelinton, and Hall. Both sides face injury concerns that could impact team selection and tactical approach.

The match kicks off at 17:30 GMT and will be broadcast live across multiple territories. UK and Irish viewers can watch on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Ultra HD, with streaming available via Sky Go and NOW.
