Everton vs Newcastle United Preview

The Hill Dickinson Stadium stages the last of this week’s Carabao Cup fourth round ties on Thursday night, with Everton hosting Newcastle United for a place in the fifth round. Neither side arrives in particularly strong form. Everton are winless in three and have failed to score in their last two. Newcastle’s last five contain three defeats, though they did win 2-0 at Crystal Palace on Sunday. Everton can take some encouragement from recent meetings, with three wins in the last five against Newcastle. Kick-off is at 7:45pm GMT.

Everton’s last five read two wins, a draw and two defeats, and the two most recent were both 2-0 losses: away at Arsenal on Saturday and at home to Chelsea the week before. Prior to those, they drew 2-2 at Hull. The two oldest results were both 1-0 home wins, over Ipswich in the league and over Wolves in the EFL Cup on 16 September. That leaves four goals scored and six conceded across the five, with no goals in either of the last two games. Everton have had five days to prepare since the Arsenal game.

Two wins and three defeats, six goals scored and ten conceded: Newcastle’s recent numbers are uneven. Sunday’s 2-0 win away at Crystal Palace was the latest, and it ended a two-game losing run. Before that they lost 1-0 at home to Aston Villa and 4-1 away at Coventry. Earlier in the run, a 2-1 home win over Hull sits alongside a 4-1 defeat at Leeds in September. Away from home, they lost two of their three games in the sample, conceding four goals in each of those defeats. Newcastle last played on Sunday, a day later than Everton.

Everton have the better of the recent record, with three wins to Newcastle’s one and a draw across the last five meetings. The most recent was a 3-1 Everton win away at Newcastle in a club friendly in August, and the one before that was also an Everton win on Tyneside, 3-2 in the league in February. Everton won all three games at Newcastle in the sample. The pattern is reversed at Everton’s home: Newcastle won 4-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in November 2025, and the other home meeting, in October 2024, ended 0-0. That leaves Everton winless at home against Newcastle in this sample.

This is the final tie of the round, with the other seven played on Tuesday and Wednesday. Those include Liverpool against Chelsea and Manchester City against Brighton & Hove Albion.
