Preview
Four days after knocking Newcastle out of the Carabao Cup, Everton visit St James' Park in the league. Goals from Garner, Hackney and Barry gave Moyes's side a 3-1 win on Thursday, with Dan Burn heading a late consolation against a near full-strength Newcastle team. Jaissle's side had beaten Crystal Palace 2-0 the previous weekend. The cup tie cost them William Osula, who twisted his ankle and went off at half-time, so Wissa may lead the line. Everton expect Jarrad Branthwaite back after two games under concussion protocols. Jack Grealish was left out of the cup squad for a breach of club discipline, and Moyes would not say whether he returns on Monday. In the league, Newcastle sit eighth on 11 points and Everton eleventh on 10. Neither side has a midweek game before the weekend. Four of the last five meetings, a pre-season friendly included, produced three goals or more. The Met Office expects a dry, mild evening. The market rates over 2.5 goals at 56% and nothing we found changes that; it is our pick at 1.77.
These sides have traded goals in recent meetings, and the market leans the same way. We take over 2.5 goals at 1.77, rated at 56%.
