Everton are back in action on Saturday evening as they welcome Newcastle United to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton were absolutely fantastic against Manchester United on Monday night, so they should be confident heading into this one.
They’ve only lost one game all season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, so clearly, they’ve made it a real fortress already.

David Moyes and Eddie Howe have an even record
Interestingly, Moyes and Howe have actually cancelled each other out across the 11 games they faced each other.

Moyes record vs Howe
Recent meetings between the pair suggest there will be plenty of goals in Saturday’s game, as their last four fixtures have produced a combined 18 goals.
That means they’re averaging over four goals a game, so perhaps there’s something in that regarding how their style match up to each other.

Moyes currently holds the bragging rights over Howe, as last time out his Everton side won 1-0 at St James’ Park.

Predicting Everton’s next three games
Everton have three pretty decent fixtures ahead of them, with two home games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Toffees have, of course, got Newcastle on Saturday before a trip to Bournemouth on Tuesday and then Nottingham Forest back on Merseyside.
Seven points could be a very realistic return from those three, with a point on the south coast against the Cherries.
That would likely see Everton move into the top six or seven in the Premier League table, so it could be an exciting festive period for supporters.
Certainly a completely different feel to this time last year under Sean Dyche, when relegation looked like a serious possibility.
