Team news
After Idrissa Gueye’s red card against Manchester United, he is guaranteed to miss the Newcastle match through suspension.
Seamus Coleman is also likely to miss the Everton game after he was forced off with an injury in the same game.
On top of this, Jarrad Branthwaite, Nathan Patterson and Merlin Rohl are expected to remain on the sidelines.
In comparison, for Newcastle, Yoane Wissa and William Osula are expected to be out of action.
Kieran Trippier has almost missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury, and it is unclear when he could make a comeback.
Likely lineups
Everton: Pickford, O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Garner, Iroegbunam, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry
Newcastle United: Pope, Livramento, Thiaw, Schar, Hall, Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes
Prediction: Everton 1-0 Newcastle United
Everton go into the game on a winning streak after securing back-to-back Premier League wins.
In contrast, Newcastle have proved to be inconsistent, following up a victory over Man City with a defeat to Marseille in the Champions League.
Therefore, it is hard to predict if the Magpies will show up for the clash or not.
Nevertheless, given Everton’s newfound confidence and the fact they have the home advantage, they should be able to secure a narrow 1-0 win.
