Where do Newcastle and Everton sit in the table?

Newcastle are 12th on 11 points and Everton are 14th on 10 points, so only one point separates them. Newcastle have played eight games, winning three, drawing two and losing three, with 12 goals scored and 14 conceded. Everton have also played eight, winning two, drawing four and losing two, with eight goals scored and nine conceded.

Therefore, a win for either side would move them clear of the other, but neither can climb very high yet. The league table is still tight in the middle, and a few results can move a club several places. In addition, Everton’s four draws show how hard they are to beat, even if they struggle to win.

How have Newcastle been playing recently?

Newcastle have lost more than they have won lately. In their last six matches in our records, they lost 4-1 at Leeds on 14 September, beat Hull City 2-1 on 19 September, lost 4-1 at Coventry on 12 October and lost 1-0 at home to Aston Villa on 17 October. Our Newcastle vs Aston Villa preview covers that last fixture.

Since then, Newcastle won 2-0 at Crystal Palace on 25 October, which was a welcome result. However, they lost 3-1 at Everton in the League Cup on 29 October. As a result, they arrive with two wins and four defeats from their last six, and that defence has conceded four goals twice in that run.

How have Everton been playing recently?

Everton arrive in better form on paper, with three wins, one draw and two defeats in their last six. They beat Wolves 1-0 in the League Cup on 16 September and beat Ipswich 1-0 on 19 September. Then they drew 2-2 at Hull City on 11 October, lost 2-0 at home to Chelsea on 17 October and lost 2-0 at Arsenal on 24 October. Our Arsenal vs Everton preview covers the Arsenal game.

Importantly, they bounced back last week by beating Newcastle 3-1 in the League Cup. That result should give them confidence, although a league game against the same opponent is a different test. Besides that, Everton scored only eight league goals in eight games, so goals remain their main problem.

What does the head-to-head record say?

Everton have the better recent head-to-head, with wins in four of the last six meetings in our records. They beat Newcastle 3-1 in the League Cup on 29 October 2026 and 3-1 in a friendly on 12 August 2026. They also won 3-2 at St James’ Park in the league on 28 February 2026.

Newcastle’s last league win in the series was 4-1 at Everton on 29 November 2025. In May 2025, Everton won 1-0 at Newcastle, and the two clubs drew 0-0 in October 2024. Overall, the last four league meetings gave Everton two wins, Newcastle one and one draw, so Everton have a slight edge.

What do the numbers by venue show?

Newcastle have scored six goals at home and six away, and they have conceded six at home and eight away. At St James’ Park they have one win, two draws and one defeat, so their home form is steady rather than strong. They have also kept two clean sheets, both away.

Everton have scored five goals at home and three away, and they have conceded four at home and five away. They have drawn three of their four away games, and they have not won on the road in the league. In addition, they have conceded three of their nine goals between the 46th and 60th minutes, which suggests that the start of the second half is a weak spot.

Consequently, this fixture sets Newcastle’s steady home form against Everton’s reluctance to lose away. A low-scoring game or a draw would not be a surprise, but the League Cup result shows that Everton can score here.
