Newcastle United are looking to continue surging in the Premier League by winning against Everton FC, who seeks to end winless run. These two teams are coming into this match from different results, which will affect their match here. Newcastle had an impressive comeback against West Ham on their previous games, despite their injuries. Due to this, Newcastle are now in the eighth of the league table with 43 points from their 29 matches. On the other hand, Everton remains to be winless recently, including a 2-1 loss against Bournemouth. Everton now sit at the 16th of the league table, with hopes of finally ending their unfortunate run here. The meeting between these two teams is on April 3, 2024, at 2:30 AM (GMT+8).
Newcastle United
Newcastle secured a 4-3 victory against West Ham in the Premier League, marking the first time since 2019 that the team has come from two goals down to win in the Premier League. The win closed the gap on the Hammers to just one point, as Eddie Howe’s side aims to close down the seventh-placed team in the European football race. However, the Magpies’ defensive performance was disappointing, with three soft goals from a defensive point of view. This was the 10th time this season that they have conceded three or more goals in a Premier League match, bringing their total to over 50 goals conceded. However, this may not be a significant concern against an Everton side who have proven extremely profligate in front of goal this season.
Anthony Gordon’s late red card and Miguel Almiron’s injury will prevent him from playing against Newcastle. Barnes is likely to start, with Jacob Murphy on the opposite flank. Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, and Tino Livramento are out for the season. Kieran Trippier could return.
Everton FC
Everton’s performance at St James’ last season was disappointing, with only Sheffield United scoring fewer goals. The team’s performance at the Vitality Stadium resulted in a late defeat. Additionally, it caused Seamus Coleman’s injury-time own goal causing a 2-1 loss. The defeat equals a club-record 12 Premier League games without a win, dating back to 1994-95 under Mike Walker. Everton have not gone 13 league games without a win since 1957 and are close to breaking the all-time record of 14 games. With the lowest points tally (five) out of any team in the division over the past 10 matches, they are just three points above the relegation zone, with a potential second points deduction on its way. The importance of a result on the road is highlighted, as they are just three points above the relegation zone.
Everton squad is set to be absentees from Bournemouth due to injury concerns, with Arnaut Danjuma and Lewis Dobbin expected to be absent. Dyche hopes Mykolenko recovers, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin may be benched.

Newcastle United (1.5)
