Everton vs Newcastle United team news and expert analysis
The Liverpool club finished 13th last season with 49 points. They are once again among the contenders for European football, just as they were throughout 2025/2026: there were no defeats until the middle of autumn! But then they suffered 0-2 losses to Chelsea and Arsenal.
The Newcastle side played in the Champions League playoffs in the spring, but slipped to 12th place in the Premier League, finishing above their current opponents only on additional criteria. A number of stars were sold in the summer, and Howe, unable to cope with the situation, departed. They made a decent start under Yaisle, but suffered several painful defeats in the autumn, including a home loss to Aston Villa. However, in the most recent round they managed to beat Crystal Palace.
Moyes's men defeated Preston 4-0 in the cup back in the summer. Against Wolverhampton in September, Alcaraz's solitary goal was enough. Their opponents, meanwhile, narrowly beat West Bromwich 3-2 in August. Then, at Millwall, they scored the only goal of the game to claim another victory.
