Newcastle United host Everton at St James’ Park on Monday 2 November looking to bounce back from a 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat against the same opponents four days earlier, a result head coach Matthias Jaissle called shocking.

David Moyes’ side arrive full of confidence from that result but remain without an away victory in the league this season, while Jack Grealish’s availability is unresolved after he was left out of the cup squad.

Jaissle blamed individual errors for all three goals conceded in midweek, even though the Magpies had 28 shots to 11 and put nine of them on target.

Defensive mistakes have been a theme of the league campaign too, with Newcastle conceding 14 goals in eight games, including 4-1 defeats at Leeds United and Coventry City.

Jaissle, who was appointed in August after Eddie Howe left, has had to rebuild without Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon, all of whom departed this summer.

The Tyneside club did win 2-0 at Crystal Palace in their previous league game, though that came after a 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa.

At St James’ Park, Jaissle’s side have taken one win, two draws and a defeat in the league, scoring and conceding 1.50 per match.

Harvey Barnes has been the most productive attacker, scoring twice and setting up two more in eight league appearances, while Yoane Wissa has found the net once from 2.9 expected goals.

Everton’s cup victory was built on a first half in which James Garner scored his season’s opener and Hayden Hackney netted his maiden goal for the club, with Thierno Barry putting it out of reach in the 69th minute.

The Toffees’ league form is less encouraging, with 2-0 defeats to Chelsea at home and Arsenal away in the last two games and no goal scored in either.

Moyes picked a strong side for the cup tie and has spoken about the value of a deep run, with a quarter-final at Fleetwood Town of League Two to come.

Barry remains the focal point for the Merseyside club, having had 27 shots in eight league appearances, 12 of them on target, for a return of three goals against an expected tally of 4.1.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has two league goals and an assist, ran the midfield in the cup tie and set up Barry’s finish.

Will Osula twisted his ankle taking a shot in the cup tie and was replaced by Wissa at the interval, with Jaissle saying it was too soon to know whether he could face the Toffees.

Valentino Livramento is out with a knee injury, which keeps Amar Dedic at right-back, while Lewis Miley (hamstring) and Matias Fernandez-Pardo (illness) missed the cup tie and remain doubtful.

Anthony Elanga and Joelinton both came on at the interval in the cup tie, with the winger’s minutes limited since a hamstring problem and the midfielder recovering from a thigh issue.

Dan Burn, the captain, scored in that game and started alongside Fabian Schar at centre-back, with Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman fit and on the bench.

Jarrad Branthwaite missed the Arsenal game and the cup tie in concussion protocol, with Moyes saying he should be recovered in time, which would pair him with James Tarkowski again.

Grealish was dropped from the cup squad because of a breach of club discipline and his availability for Monday has not been confirmed, so Tyrique George is projected on the left.

Vitaliy Mykolenko went off injured at Arsenal on 24 October but played 86 minutes of the cup tie and is projected at left-back, while Christian Norgaard, who has a groin problem, came on late in that game.

Harrison Armstrong has started all eight league games and is projected beside Garner, though Hackney, who scored in the cup tie, is the alternative and Merlin Rohl is expected to continue at right-back.

Everton have won each of the last two meetings, taking the league game at St James’ Park in February 3-2 and the Carabao Cup tie.

The Tyneside club’s only success in the last five competitive meetings was a 4-1 victory away to the Toffees in November 2025.

Newcastle have not beaten Everton at St James’ Park in the league since October 2022, a run of three home games that has brought one draw and two defeats.

Howe was in charge for every league meeting in that spell, so the record says little about a side now led by Jaissle.

Bookmakers have the Magpies as narrow favourites for a fixture with little to separate the sides, and the Betfred betting site review explains how that operator prices football markets. Anyone considering a sign-up can check the current terms on the Betfred new customer promo code page.

Newcastle vs Everton prediction and betting tips

Top Tip
Both teams to score
Odds 1.57
Newcastle have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their four home league games, while Everton have scored in half of their away matches. Barry has had 27 league shots, so a visiting goal looks more likely than another blank.
Value Bet
Newcastle United to win
Odds 2.30
Everton have drawn three and lost one of their away league fixtures, scoring 0.75 goals per match on the road, while Newcastle have collected five points from four home games. A home win is a fair price because Everton’s travelling form has produced draws rather than victories.
Longshot
Newcastle United 2-1 Everton (correct score)
Odds 9.00
Newcastle have scored exactly twice in three of their four home league fixtures, while Everton concede 1.25 per match on the road. A narrow home win with a single Everton reply fits both patterns, although one exact score is a long shot by definition.
Free Choice
Over 4.5 cards
Odds 1.73
Newcastle have collected 22 yellow cards in eight league games and Everton 15. Those figures average 4.6 bookings per game between them, just above the line, and eight yellows were shown in the cup tie four days earlier.

Odds correct as of Saturday, 31 October 2026, 09:05 GMT.

Score prediction
Newcastle United 2-1 Everton
Newcastle’s 12 league goals in eight games and the threat of Wissa and Barnes should trouble an Everton left side that may be without Grealish. Barry and Dewsbury-Hall can find a reply for the visitors, so a narrow home win with an away goal looks the most likely outcome.
  • Newcastle scorer: Wissa, expected to lead the line in place of the doubtful Osula
  • Newcastle scorer: Barnes, who supplies the width on the left
  • Everton scorer: Barry, the top marksman in their league squad
