In an exciting clash, Newcastle United is set to face Everton in the Premier League, aiming to complete a league double over the Toffees for the sixth time in club history. The previous instances occurred in the seasons of 1993-94, 1995-96, 2001-02, 2020-21, and 2022-23.
Recent Performances
Last season, Everton triumphed in this fixture, securing a 1-0 victory. The last time they won successive away matches at Newcastle was during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. Currently, Newcastle has struggled in recent outings, losing four of their last five Premier League matches, with only one win to show for their efforts.
Newcastle’s Struggles
Newcastle’s performance this season has dipped, averaging just 1.33 points per game, their lowest ratio during Eddie Howe’s tenure. This marks a significant drop compared to the 34 points they accumulated in the 2019-20 season with Bournemouth. Notably, the Magpies have lost their last two home matches to Aston Villa and Brentford, an outcome they haven’t experienced since February 2021 under former manager Steve Bruce.
Everton’s Away Record
On the other hand, Everton has shown resilience in away games, amassing the second most points away from home since manager David Moyes returned in January last year. They have earned 38 points and are among the few teams to concede fewer than a goal per away match, with just 18 goals conceded in 22 matches, equaling Arsenal’s record of 18 goals conceded in 23 matches.
Key Stats and Players
- Newcastle has conceded 9 first-half goals in this season’s Premier League, ranking them third in the league for first-half goals conceded.
- Only Burnley has conceded more first-half goals (10) in 2026 so far.
- Jacob Ramsey has recorded a goal and an assist in his last two appearances for Newcastle.
- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall leads the goal involvements for Everton in away games this season with 4 (3 goals, 1 assist).
It will be crucial for both teams to adjust their strategies as they meet again in what promises to be a competitive matchup. Newcastle seeks to reverse their recent fortunes, while Everton aims to maintain their strong away form.
