The Toffees claimed their first league win of the season last weekend against Crystal Palace and will be looking to build upon that result when Newcastle make the trip to Goodison Park for Saturday's late kick-off in the Premier League.

Everton vs Newcastle prediction: Goals at either end of the pitch?
Key Stats
- Both teams have scored in five of Newcastle's last six outings in all competitions.
- Over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Everton's last six matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in three of Newcastle's last five fixtures.
Correct score prediction: Everton 1-2 Newcastle
While Everton secured their firs league win of the campaign last time out, the Toffees didn't play well in that game and against a better side they probably would have lost. With that in mind, and with Newcastle winning three of their last five matches, we're backing a narrow 2-1 away win on Saturday.

Everton preview: Ended their winless run
The Everton faithful will be relieved to have seen their side come from behind for the first time under Sean Dyche to win their first game of the season last weekend.
Dwight McNeil scored two excellent goals in the second half to earn the Toffees a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace but they were the team's only two shots on target.
Youssef Chermiti, Armando Broja and Seamus Coleman are expected to miss the Newcastle game through injury and we're backing Dyche to make one change to the team that started against Palace with Jack Harrison coming in for Jesper Lindstrom.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Young, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Doucoure, Mangala, Harrison, Calvert-Lewin, McNeil & Ndiaye

Newcastle preview: Only lost one of last six
The Magpies claimed a 1-0 win in their rearranged EFL Cup tie against Wimbledon in midweek to make it three wins from their last five in all competitions.
Eddie Howe's side are bound to be in good confidence following their draw with Man City last time out but a trip to Goodison Park is rarely easy for any opponent.
Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Callum Wilson, Lewis Miley, Alexander Isak and Matt Targett are all doubts for the trip to Merseyside this weekend due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall, Murphy, Guimaraes, Barnes, Tonali, Joelinton & Gordon

Player to watch: Anthony Gordon
Anthony Gordon came through the academy at Everton and worked his way into the first team before leaving when the club was at a low point to sign for Newcastle.
Gordon has developed since leaving Goodison Park, becoming a regular for Newcastle and earning his first caps for England. The 23-year-old Liverpool fan scored 11 goals in the league last season for the Magpies and has netted twice in his opening six appearances of the 2024/25 campaign.
Will Gordon return to haunt his former employers?
We're backing Gordon to put in another classy performance against Everton this weekend to show the Everton fans just what they are missing.
