Everton aims to finally put a stop with their slip into trouble, as they go against a striving team, Newcastle United. Due to their current results, Everton is putting themselves into trouble, as they are slipping down the league table. Newcastle on the other hand is an impressive team recently, qualifying for the Champions League. Moreover, coming into this match, Newcastle and Everton are coming from different results, although both are unbeaten. Everton are fortunate to end their losing run with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace. Newcastle on the other hand thrashed the Spurs in a 6-1 win on their last game. This meeting will be on April 28, 2023, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8), with Everton playing as hosts.
When it comes to their historical record, these two teams have shared 181 matches already. Surprisingly, from those 181 matches, it was the hosts who holds an advantage, winning 75 games. On the other hand, the wins of the visitors are not that far, as they have won 70 games. However, it seems like it is the visitors who has a better momentum recently going against the hosts. They actually won four of their last five matches against the hosts in the league. The hosts on the other hand listed only one win of their last six games against the visitors in the league. However, they were able to win their match last season in a narrow 1-0 win.
Everton
Everton is fortunate enough to finally end their losing run in the league, after their goalless draw against Crystal Palace. However, this result failed to stop them from being one of the teams at the drop zone. They still have chances though, as they are just two points behind from the safe zone. With that, a win in this match could make them climb at the 16th or 17th with 31 points across their names. Since they are coming from a draw in this match, they are aiming to develop their game plan to win here. It is like now-or-never for Everton, because if they want to enter the next round, they must grab the opportunity of winning here. Additionally, they cannot afford to bring their horrible form in this match, as they cannot slip in their games anymore.
After Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned on their last match, they are once again boosted with the return of Abdoulaye Doucoure here. Additionally, Amadou Onana, could also return here, after missing two games. However, Mason Holgate is suspended in this match, while Seamus Coleman remains to be out.
Newcastle United
Newcastle is looking to just maintain their good momentum in the league, in preparation for the next round. They are currently at the third of the league table with 59 points, but are still aiming for wins. Newcastle wants to win here so they could continue holding on their their spot at the third of the league table. Fortunately, they will most likely qualify for the Champions League, which is not surprising. Newcastle have been consistent this season, which is one of their strengths. In fact, on their last match, they dominated the Spurs, thrashing them into a 6-1 win. For this match, they are aiming to achieve the same result and continue their excellent form this season.
Fabian Schar remains to be unsure in this match, as he needs to face a late fitness test here, after tweaking his hamstring. Allan Saint-Maximum on the other hand is unlikely to play here, as this game is too soon for him.
