Everton are catching Newcastle United at the wrong time here. The Magpies are on a tear, having won four straight Premier League matches by a combined score of 8-2, including victories over Arsenal and Leicester City.
The Toffees, on the other hand, are playing like a team that’s afraid to lose, leading to draws the last two times out against Swansea City and Liverpool. In a match at home against a team at the same point in the table as them, fans will want more positive tactics from Sam Allardyce’s men. Will that happen? It seems unlikely.
Recent history is on Everton’s side. The Blues have won four consecutive matchups between these two clubs and eight of the last 10 meetings. Most recently, Everton took all three points back in December at St. James’ Park thanks to a 27th minute goal from Wayne Rooney.
