Newcastle United will be looking to maintain their recent good form as they host Everton in a midweek Premier League fixture.
Newcastle are slowly becoming a team to be taken seriously in the Premier League and are enjoying a fine campaign so far. They have suffered just one defeat this season and are sixth on the table, well on course to secure a place in Europe.
The Magpies head into Wednesday’s clash off the back of a 0-0 draw at Manchester United in their previous Premier League fixture. They set out to frustrate the hosts but also had chances of their own with Joelinton hitting the woodwork with a first half header.
As pleasing as that result would have been to manager Eddie Howe, the draws are beginning to pile up for Newcastle United. That was the sixth stalemate in 10 matches this season, with three of those scorelines coming in their last four home matches.
Everton are coming off a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their previous Premier League fixture. They failed to build on a bright start and were ultimately made to pay for some poor first half finishing.
Despite that result, Everton still showed signs of their continuous improvement as they sit just three points off the top 10. Frank Lampard’s men recently went on a seven-match unbeaten run, although four of those fixtures ended in draws.
Everton have also shown some good form on their recent travels with the result at Spurs, their first defeat in the last five away matches across all competitions. However, the draws seem to be a problem once again having been held twice in that run despite taking the lead.
How the bookies view it
Newcastle United are considered favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 4/6 with BoyleSports. A victory for Everton is valued at 22/5 by Unibet while a draw is set at odds of 3/1 by Betfred.
Recent head to head
Everton have a 67-64 advantage with 34 draws from 165 previous matches against Newcastle United. Both teams claimed home wins in their two meetings last season with Newcastle winning 3-1 at St James’ Park while the Toffees triumphed 1-0 at Goodison Park.
Players to watch
Callum Wilson is in the middle of a mini drought at the moment but could still be worth keeping an eye on for Newcastle. The striker has three goals in six appearances this season and is priced at 5/4 by bet365 to get on the score sheet.
Anthony Gordon is set to return for Everton after missing the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur due to suspension. The forward has scored in two of his last three away matches and is priced at 16/5 by Paddy Power to find the net on Wednesday.
Anything else catch the eye?
The last meeting at St James’ Park produced over 3.5 goals and a similar outcome is priced at 9/4 by BetVictor. Over 2.5 goals is valued at 10/11 by bet365 while SBK is also offering odds of 10/11 on both teams to score.
Both teams have battled to a halftime draw in the last four meetings and a repeat could be on the cards at 27/20 by Sport Nation.
