Newcastle United and Everton meet for the second time in consecutive fixtures, with the Magpies aiming to overturn a 3-1 defeat in the Carabao Cup. Everton knocked Newcastle out of the cup last Thursday, but now travel to St James' Park. The recent encounter provides a useful data set for Monday's Premier League clash.
Match Odds and Favourites
Leading betting sites have made Newcastle favourites to avenge their cup defeat, despite winning just one of the last six league meetings with Everton. The Magpies' home advantage has seen them installed as favourites on most betting apps.
Tip 1: Lewis Hall Shot on Target
Lewis Hall attempted two shots from outside the box on Thursday night, guiding one on target. In the Premier League this season, the left-back has let fly from range three times, finding the target twice – once against Leeds United and once against Coventry City. Harvey Barnes is another option in this market, having hit the target from range on Thursday and attempted seven shots from outside the area in eight league games. Barnes is priced at 12/5 with Bet365. Tip: Lewis Hall 1+ shot on target - 11/2 (Bet365).
Tip 2: Over 4.5 Cards
Thursday's meeting produced eight yellow cards. Newcastle's 11 league games have seen 58 yellow cards, while Everton have collected 43 bookings in their 11 fixtures. The related market, team to receive most cards, could also appeal – Newcastle are priced at 2/1 with both Coral and Ladbrokes, having received 29 yellow cards compared to Everton's 21. Tip: Over 4.5 cards - 19/20 (Betway).
Tip 3: Everton or Draw Double Chance
Despite Newcastle's favouritism, backing the visitors could hold value. Everton beat Newcastle 3-1 on Thursday and also won by the same scoreline in pre-season. Matthias Jaissle's side have been inconsistent, losing to Coventry before a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace. Newcastle have not kept a clean sheet at home this season, conceding eight goals in five games, and have won just one Premier League game at home. Tip: Everton or draw Double Chance - 8/13 (Sky Bet).
Predicted Lineups
Predicted Newcastle XI: Hornicek; Dedic, Schar, Burn, Hall; Gonzalez, Joelinton; Elanga, Willock, Barnes; Wissa. Predicted Everton XI: Pickford; Rohl, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Armstrong, Garner; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, George; Barry.
