Everton travel to St James’ Park this afternoon, aiming to reclaim their away form and secure successive victories on Tyneside for the first time since 2014.
The Toffees have moved into ninth place but are looking to bounce back after a frustrating 1–0 home loss to Manchester United. Manager David Moyes oversaw a performance where his side competed well but conceded late, and he now faces a Newcastle team sitting just one point behind them. Notably, Everton have won more points away (38) since Moyes’ return than all but one other Premier League side.
Everton Team News
David Moyes manages a squad nearing full health but missing a creative spark due to a fresh training injury. Notably, Charly Alcaraz is ruled out for up to a month with an unspecified injury picked up on Sunday. Consequently, James Garner is set to move into a more advanced midfield role. Notably, Jake O’Brien is available for selection after serving his suspension and is expected to be recalled at right-back. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall—who scored the winner in the reverse fixture—has been Everton’s most influential away player this term with four goal involvements.
Jordan Pickford will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite. In midfield, Idrissa Gueye will anchor the side alongside Garner. Iliman Ndiaye and Armstrong will support Thierno Barry in attack. Notably, Everton are one of only two teams to concede fewer than a goal per away game over the last year, highlighting their defensive resilience on the road.
