Premier League LIVE: Brentford vs Burnley, Man City vs Leeds & Sunderland vs Bournemouth – scores
After winning five consecutive Premier League games against Newcastle between March 2015 and April 2018, Everton have since won just four of their last 14 against the Magpies (D4 L6).
Newcastle are winless in their last four Premier League games against Everton (D2 L2), having won five of their previous six against the Toffees (L1).
This is the first time Everton are facing Newcastle in the Premier League while above them in the table since a 3-1 away loss in February 2022 (Everton 16th, Newcastle 19th). Indeed, the Toffees are winless in their last six against the Magpies when above them (D2 L4).
Everton have won 2-0 against Fulham and 1-0 at Manchester United in their last two Premier League games – they’ve not won three in a row with a clean sheet each time since April 2024.
Having beaten Man City last time out, Newcastle are looking for consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since a run of five in March/April last season. However, away from home the Magpies are winless in nine Premier League games (D4 L5), last having a longer run between December 2015 and August 2017 (12).
Newcastle have lost their last three Premier League away games, opening the scoring in both of the last two. Only three teams have lost 3+ consecutive away games despite opening the scoring in the competition – Middlesbrough (September 2008), Leicester (October 2022) and Brentford (November 2024).
Only Arsenal and Crystal Palace (3 each) have conceded fewer first half goals than Newcastle (4) in the Premier League this season, with the Magpies the only side yet to concede in the opening 30 minutes of games.
Against no side does Everton’s Jack Grealish have more Premier League assists than he has against Newcastle (4). Grealish also has the joint-most assists of any player in the Premier League this season (4), though all four came in his first three appearances in August.
After a run of 16 games without a goal, Harvey Barnes has now scored three times in his last two, netting both in Newcastle’s 2-1 win over Manchester City last time out.
Everton’s Jack Grealish (36) and Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães (27) have won more fouls than any other players in the Premier League this season. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s Dan Burn has conceded more fouls than any other defender (23).
