Newcastle United will face Everton at St James’ Park on Saturday as they look to end a recent slump and achieve their sixth Premier League double against the Toffees.
The Magpies are currently 11th in the league, just four points behind seventh place. Manager Eddie Howe recently guided the team to a memorable European advancement but is now concentrating on overcoming a streak of four losses in five league matches. Newcastle has struggled at home, losing their last two Premier League games to Aston Villa and Brentford.
Newcastle United Team News
Manager Eddie Howe is dealing with a squad impacted by multiple long-term injuries to key players. Jacob Ramsey’s participation is uncertain due to a hamstring injury incurred during the midweek match against Qarabag. As a result, Joe Willock or Joelinton will likely fill the midfield alongside Sandro Tonali. Malick Thiaw, who scored twice in the last meeting with Everton, is set to return to defense after serving a suspension. Anthony Gordon is expected to lead the attack against his former team, though he has only netted three of his 14 goals this season in the Premier League.
Nick Pope will be the starting goalkeeper, supported by a defensive line that likely includes Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn. On the wings, Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes will provide support. Notably, Newcastle has conceded nine first-half goals in the Premier League this year, second only to Burnley, making a strong start important. Jacob Ramsey could be a key player if fit, aiming to score or assist in three straight games for the first time since May 2023.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup
Expected Newcastle United XI: Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Willock, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Gordon, Barnes
