Newcastle

EFL Cup, 19:45 @ 29.10.2026

Everton welcome Newcastle United to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday, 29 October, with a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals at stake. David Moyes’ side have suffered consecutive Premier League defeats, while Newcastle arrive after an impressive 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace.

Both teams have been inconsistent, but Newcastle’s attacking options could make the difference. I’m backing the Magpies to avoid defeat, particularly with Everton struggling to find the net in recent weeks.

How Are Everton and Newcastle Playing?

Everton Form: Struggling to Find Goals

Everton have lost their last two Premier League matches, suffering consecutive 2-0 defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Moyes’ side defended reasonably well at the Emirates, but their attacking problems continued. They’ve scored just three goals in their last five league fixtures and eight across the season. Their Carabao Cup performances have been more encouraging, with victories over Preston North End (4-0) and Wolves (1-0).

However, team selection remains uncertain. Jack Grealish missed the Arsenal match through illness, Jarrad Branthwaite was unavailable under concussion protocols and Vitalii Mykolenko suffered an injury. Thierno Barry provides a physical presence up front, but Everton need greater creativity to trouble Newcastle’s defence.

Newcastle Form: Confidence Returning After Palace Win

Newcastle have endured mixed results under Matthias Jaissle, but Sunday’s 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace offered plenty of encouragement. Will Osula opened the scoring from Jacob Murphy’s delivery before Harvey Barnes doubled the lead following good work from Amar Dedić. The Magpies previously suffered heavy defeats against Leeds and Coventry, highlighting their defensive inconsistency.

However, they’ve also beaten West Brom (3-2) and Millwall (1-0) in the Carabao Cup. Anthony Elanga and Jacob Ramsey returned from injury against Palace, giving Jaissle additional options in attack and midfield. Newcastle have the pace and movement to trouble Everton, particularly when exploiting space in wide areas.

Key Factors Behind My Everton vs Newcastle Prediction

Everton’s Scoring Problems: The Toffees have failed to score in their last two league matches and managed just eight Premier League goals in eight fixtures.
Newcastle’s Attacking Options: Barnes, Osula and Murphy impressed against Crystal Palace. Their movement could expose Everton’s defensive weaknesses.
Everton’s Defensive Concerns: Branthwaite and Mykolenko face fitness questions, potentially leaving Moyes short of options at the back.
Fixture Congestion: Both clubs meet again in the Premier League on Monday, 2 November. Squad rotation could influence Thursday’s cup tie.
Newcastle’s Away Potential: The Magpies have already recorded away clean sheets against Tottenham and Crystal Palace. Newcastle or Draw at 8/13 looks an interesting alternative to the outright result.

Newcastle have scored four more league goals than Everton, although they’ve also conceded five more. The Magpies’ away performances have been unpredictable, but their victories at Tottenham and Crystal Palace show they can deliver against Premier League opposition. Everton have been more reliable defensively in the cup, keeping two clean sheets. However, their recent lack of goals could become costly against Newcastle’s pace. Last season’s league meetings produced ten goals, with Newcastle winning 4-1 at Everton before the Toffees claimed a 3-2 victory at St James’ Park.

Premier League Standings: Everton vs Newcastle

Position	Team	Played	Points	Goal difference
8th	Newcastle United	8	11	-2
11th	Everton	8	10	-1

Newcastle sit one point above Everton following their victory at Crystal Palace. The Toffees have slipped to 11th after consecutive defeats, although both sides remain within touching distance of the European places. Thursday’s fixture offers an opportunity to build momentum while securing a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Full-time result (90 minutes)	Odds
Everton to win	5/4

Newcastle to win	2/1

Everton are narrow favourites at 5/4, reflecting their home advantage and stronger defensive record. However, Newcastle’s recent victory at Palace and Everton’s attacking struggles make the visitors an interesting selection at 2/1.

Everton vs Newcastle Alternative Betting Odds

The double chance market provides another way to approach this closely matched cup tie.

Additional betting market	Odds
Newcastle or Draw (Double Chance)	8/13

Newcastle or Draw at 8/13 is my preferred selection. The Magpies showed plenty of attacking promise against Palace, while Everton have struggled to convert opportunities. The outright Newcastle victory at 2/1 offers a bigger return for those expecting Jaissle’s side to take control. Both selections apply to 90 minutes plus stoppage time, excluding a potential penalty shootout. Prices may change before kick-off.

Everton vs Newcastle Predictions and Betting Tips

Beni

The conservative one

Newcastle or Draw

Odds 3/5

I'm siding with Newcastle to avoid defeat. Everton haven't scored in their last two league games, while the Magpies have just delivered a proper away performance at Palace. I like having the draw covered in a cup tie this tight.

Beto

The bold one

Newcastle to Win

Odds 2/1

I'm having a crack at the away win. Barnes and Osula looked lively against Palace, and Newcastle have the pace to get at this Everton defence. If they bring that same sharpness to Liverpool, I fancy them to get the job done in 90 minutes.
