The stats
After winning five consecutive Premier League games against Newcastle between March 2015 and April 2018, Everton have won just four of their last 14 against the Magpies since.
Newcastle are winless in their last four Premier League games against Everton, having won five of their previous six against the Merseysiders.
This is the first time Everton are facing Newcastle in the Premier League while being above them in the table since a 3-1 away loss in February 2022.
The Blues have won 2-0 against Fulham and 1-0 at Man Utd in their last two Premier League games and the Toffees have not won three in a row with a clean sheet each time since April 2024.

Prediction
Everton have returned to winning ways and have kept successive clean sheets after following a home victory over Fulham with a triumph at Man Utd.
After improving on such a woeful record, confidence among the Blues is high, particularly as they played 75 minutes with 10 men after Gueye was shown a red card following a confrontation with team-mate Keane.
Newcastle are a tough challenge for any side in the Premier League, but have yet to win away this season which will further boost Everton's aim of making it three wins from three in the league for the first time since May.
The Magpies head to Hill Dickinson Stadium after a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Marseille in the Champions League and know a victory would boost morale heading into a busy December.
However, with Jack Grealish, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall combining well behind forward Thierno Barry, Everton's home advantage should see the Toffees take all three points on Saturday.
