Newcastle preview: Difficult evening

Newcastle United endured a tough time of it at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday as The Magpies succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to Everton in the EFL Cup, only softening that scoreline with a late Dan Burn consolation.

Another hammering on the road, Newcastle have twice been beaten 4-1 in the Premier League away from home this season, albeit did manage a 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend.

Everton preview: Moyes’ focus

Back at Everton after winning a major trophy in his managerial career with West Ham United, David Moyes has discussed how it would be good for Everton to go deep in the cups this season and he named a strong eleven for that cup tie the other day.

The Toffees, who head to Arsenal slayers Fleetwood Town of League Two in the quarter-finals in December, have succumbed to back-to-back 2-0 defeats in the Premier League against Chelsea and then Arsenal in recent weeks.

Newcastle team news: Osula a doubt

Having scored a rare goal against Palace last week, injury prone Will Osula twisted his ankle in the cup game in midweek and so he is now a doubt for the hosts this weekend.

Matias Fernandez-Pardo did not recover from illness to feature in the cup game and so remains a doubt alongside academy graduate Lewis Miley, who has an injury.

Further details will appear here following pre-match press conferences…

Everton team news: Grealish issues

Having rejoined from Manchester City, Jack Grealish has not yet found his fluency for Everton and he was not deemed available for selection due to a breach of club protocol in their cup game the other day.

Jarrad Branthwaite was also ruled out of that one due to injury but David Moyes has said he should be back involved here and so could come straight back into the side ahead of Jake O'Brien.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Rohl, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Hackney, Garner; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, George; Barry

Newcastle vs Everton prediction

Everton can be forgiven for those defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal, given the quality and status of those two sides, albeit performances remained fairly underwhelming and there is an argument as to whether their focus has shifted away from simply punching above their weight in the league, given how small their squad is, and more focused on the cups. They head to St James’ Park with Newcastle again needing to respond after a shellacking on the road and some supporters do have issues with the inconsistent start of manager Matthias Jaissle. Newcastle had been unbeaten at home before a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in their last game on Tyneside and the better bet for this one may be for the hosts to remain fairly unconvincing and Everton simply to try and shut things down again and so a low-scoring contest seems worthwhile backing.

Newcastle vs Everton tip: Under 2.5 goals
