Newcastle won their home Premier League match against Everton last season, winning 2-1 under Steve Bruce. The Magpies haven’t won consecutive home league games against the Toffees since a run of three between March 2002 and April 2004.
Everton have scored in their last 10 away league games against Newcastle, a run stretching back to the 2010-11 season. It is their longest active run of scoring at an away side in the Premier League, last scoring in more consecutive away top-flight games against an opponent between 1955 and 1995 at Bolton Wanderers (12 in a row).
Following their 1-0 win at Leeds last time out, Newcastle are looking to secure back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since May. The Magpies have won just once in 11 home league games this season, however (D6 L4).
Everton have a higher win rate (43%) and a higher points-per-game average (1.6) in Premier League games played on Tuesdays than they do on any other day of the week in the competition (P44 W19 D14 L11).
Newcastle haven’t scored more than once in any of their last nine Premier League games, since a 3-3 draw against Brentford in November. They last had a longer run without scoring more than one goal between August and October 2019 (10).
No side earned more points from their first four Premier League games this season than Everton (10). However, since then the Toffees have picked up just nine points from 16 Premier League games, fewer than any other side in the division in that time.
Newcastle have dropped a league-high 21 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, while only West Ham (12) have won more points from behind so far than Everton (11).
This will be new Everton manager Frank Lampard’s first game in charge in the Premier League since January 2021, and a 2-0 defeat to Leicester while at Chelsea. None of the last 12 permanent managers have lost their first league game in charge of the Toffees (W8 D4), with Gordon Lee the last to do so in February 1977.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored in his last three away Premier League appearances against Newcastle United for Everton. The last opposition player to score in four in a row at St James’ Park was Daniel Sturridge (2011-2013) while the last Toffees player to do so was Kevin Campbell between 1999 and 2002.
Newcastle striker Chris Wood has scored three Premier League goals against Everton (including his first ever strike in the competition), with each of these goals coming at a different ground (King Power Stadium, Turf Moor, Goodison Park).
