Hill Dickinson Stadium will host the Magpies on 29 October in the competition's fourth round.

The Toffees beat Wolves 1-0 at home in the previous round and face a tough test against Matthias Jaissle's team.

David Moyes' side are winless in their last four matches but have been given a decent chance to progress further in the Carabao Cup.

The Toffees have seen their Premier League prospects diminish in recent weeks, and the Scottish manager will certainly have his eye on an extended cup run to give fans something to cheer about.

With a win over the Tyneside club, the Merseyside outfit will move one step closer to playing the final at Wembley Stadium.

What supercomputer has predicted for Everton vs Newcastle

Everton lost to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and are going into the game against Newcastle after two straight defeats.

There's a sense of frustration around Hill Dickinson Stadium at the moment due to The Friedkin Group's lack of commitment and Moyes' way of managing.

A long cup run would undoubtedly lighten the mood around the Merseyside outfit.

Opta's supercomputer has given the Blues a 45 per cent chance of winning against Newcastle in 90 minutes.

The probability that the Magpies get a victory in regulation time is 27 per cent, while the possibility of a draw is 26 per cent.

If neither team wins in 90 minutes, the game will go directly to penalties.

Why recent record favours David Moyes vs Newcastle United

Everton have a relatively decent record against Newcastle over the last few seasons.

While the Toffees once struggled to even get a point against the Magpies, they've been the better side recently.

In the last six meetings between the two teams, the Blues have won three times, while the Tyneside club have won only once.

What happens at Hill Dickinson Stadium could set the tone for the upcoming Premier League game at St James' Park on 2 November.

It will be interesting to see whether the Merseyside outfit will make the most of their home advantage against Newcastle on Thursday.
