Newcastle United vs Everton 2 November 2026 Prediction

Newcastle and Everton meet for the second time in four days. Everton won Thursday’s League Cup match 3-1, but this time Newcastle is at home. Just one point separates them in the Premier League table: Newcastle starts the round in eighth place and Everton in 11th.

Newcastle’s Inconsistent Form

After a 4-1 loss to Coventry and a 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, Matthias Jaissle’s side beat Crystal Palace 2-0. The scoreline flattered Newcastle, though: Palace led 1.69 to 0.98 in expected goals. Newcastle has 11 points from eight league matches, with 12 goals scored and 14 conceded. Thursday’s 3-1 cup loss to Everton showed the same inconsistency. Newcastle started well but struggled after conceding the opener.

Jaissle made just one change to his starting lineup on Thursday, with Joelinton, Wissa, and Elanga coming off the bench. Fatigue could be a factor on Monday. Elanga and Ramsey have recovered from injuries, while Wissa is working his way back to full fitness. Livramento and Jaouen are out; Miley and Fernandez-Pardo are questionable. Osula is also doubtful after injuring his ankle on Thursday and being substituted at halftime. If he cannot play, Wissa may start.

Everton’s Cup Win

Everton went three Premier League matches without a win before Thursday, including 2-0 losses to Chelsea and Arsenal. David Moyes made only two changes from the side that played at Arsenal, and Everton beat Newcastle 3-1. Garner opened the scoring, Barry ended his goal drought, and Hackney recorded a goal and an assist. It was Hackney’s first goal for the club and may strengthen his case for a start. Everton has 10 points in the league, with eight goals scored and nine conceded. Away from home, Everton has lost once and drawn three times in four matches.

Branthwaite missed two matches under the concussion protocol, but Moyes expects him to be available Monday. Mykolenko played in the cup, no new injuries were reported, and Nørgaard again saw limited minutes. Grealish missed the cup match after failing to report for training. His status for the league match remains unclear.

Newcastle vs Everton Prediction: Everton to Win at 2.97

Main prediction: Newcastle has won only three of its eight league matches, and its sole home win came against Hull, 2-1. Everton has lost twice in eight matches, both times to Chelsea or Arsenal, and has taken points in the other six. Moyes’s side has also conceded nine goals to Newcastle’s 14. Everton has won three of the teams’ last six meetings, while Newcastle has won one. The pick is Everton to win at 2.97.

Goals prediction: Newcastle has conceded at least twice in six of its 11 competitive matches this season and has yet to keep a clean sheet at home in the league. Everton has scored at least twice in five matches this season, including each of its last two against Newcastle: a 3-2 win in February and Thursday’s 3-1 victory. The pick is Everton over 1.5 team goals at 2.25.
