Match Information
Match Overview
Newcastle host Everton at St. James' Park on November 2 in Premier League Regular Season - Round 9, a matchday where the season is starting to take shape. Newcastle sit 8th in the table and Everton 11th, so the two sides are separated by only three places in the middle of the standings.
Recent form is the most revealing factor. Newcastle won 2-0 away at Crystal Palace on October 25, but that came after home and away defeats to Aston Villa (0-1 on October 17) and Coventry (1-4 on October 12). Their last five league matches produced two wins and three losses, and they conceded four goals twice, at Coventry and at Leeds on September 14. Everton arrive on a harder run: defeats at Arsenal (0-2 on October 24) and at home to Chelsea (0-2 on October 17), after a 2-2 draw at Hull City on October 11. They have failed to score in their last two league games, and their last league win was 1-0 against Ipswich on September 19.
Head-to-head history adds a psychological layer. Everton have won the last two meetings, 3-1 at Newcastle on August 12 and 3-2 at Newcastle on February 28. Newcastle's most recent win in the series was 4-1 at Everton on November 29, 2025. Everton also won 1-0 at Newcastle on May 25, 2025, which means they have won three of the last four meetings at St. James' Park. Newcastle will be looking to reverse that trend, while Everton will be looking to extend it.
Both clubs have no reported unavailable players, so M. Jaissle and D. Moyes should both have full squads to choose from. That makes selection decisions a matter of tactics rather than necessity.
Newcastle's need to steady their defensive record against an Everton side searching for goals makes this an intriguing contest between two teams looking for consistency.

Team Form Analysis
Newcastle
League Position: 8Newcastle Form Analysis
Newcastle's last five Premier League matches produced two wins and three defeats, a mixed trajectory. The most recent result was a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace on October 25, which followed a 0-1 home loss to Aston Villa on October 17 and a 4-1 defeat at Coventry on October 12. Before that, they beat Hull City 2-1 at home on September 19 and lost 4-1 at Leeds on September 14.
Defensively, the numbers are a concern: Newcastle conceded 10 goals across the five matches, including four in each of their two heaviest defeats. They did keep a clean sheet at Crystal Palace, which suggests some improvement. In attack they scored six goals in total, with a two-goal return in each of their two wins and only one goal across the three defeats combined, in the Leeds match, and one at Coventry.
Both of their wins came against Crystal Palace and Hull City, and both of their heaviest losses were away from home. Their only home defeat in this run was the narrow 0-1 against Aston Villa. That home record in this sample is more encouraging than the away results.
Everton
League Position: 11Everton Form Analysis
Everton's recent form has trended downward. In their last five matches in all competitions they recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats, but the most recent run is more concerning: a 2-2 draw at Hull City on October 11, then a 0-2 home loss to Chelsea on October 17 and a 0-2 defeat at Arsenal on October 24.
Attacking output has dried up. Everton have scored no goals in their last two games, having scored twice at Hull City. Their earlier wins were both by a 1-0 scoreline, against Ipswich in the league on September 19 and Wolves in the League Cup Round of 32 on September 16. That points to a side that has relied on narrow margins.
Defensively, Everton have conceded six goals across the five matches, with two against each of Hull City, Chelsea and Arsenal. The League Cup tie on September 16 is useful only as schedule context. The two defeats in October came against Chelsea and Arsenal, demanding opposition, so the results should be viewed with that in mind. Their trip to Newcastle gives them a chance to reset in the league.

Memorable Matches
The most recent meetings have been entertaining and often decisive for Everton. On August 12, 2026, Everton won 3-1 at St. James' Park, and on February 28, 2026, they won a goal-filled 3-2 there as well. Those two results give Everton a recent edge in the series.
Newcastle's answer came on November 29, 2025, when they won 4-1 at Everton, the highest-scoring win for either side in the last ten meetings alongside Newcastle's 4-1 win at Everton on April 27, 2023. Everton also had a 3-0 home win on December 7, 2023.
Elsewhere, the series has often been tight: Everton won 1-0 at Newcastle on May 25, 2025, and the sides drew 0-0 on October 5, 2024, and 1-1 on April 2, 2024.
Venue Factor
St. James' Park hosts this Round 9 fixture, and Newcastle will want to make home advantage count. Their form there in the provided data is limited to two matches: a 2-1 win over Hull City on September 19 and a 0-1 loss to Aston Villa on October 17. That is a small sample and offers no firm conclusion about their home record.
