Newcastle United earned a great comeback win against West Ham

Newcastle United’s form has been very inconsistent recently. However, dealing with multiple crucial injuries, Eddie Howe’s side has done well to stay in the hunt for European places. The Magpies are coming off a dramatic coming-from-behind 4-3 win over West Ham in their previous match, where they were trailing 3-1 at one point.

Meanwhile, the Toffees’ promising run of form since the points deduction seems to have dried up a bit, as they have been winless in 9 games across all competitions. While the defence has largely been fine, they have found goals hard to come by this season. Their last match was a heartbreaking 2-1 loss at home to Bournemouth, with Sheamus Coleman conceding an own-goal in the 90th minute.

Kick-Off:

Friday: 3rd April 2024, 12 AM IST

Location: St James Park, Newcastle, UK

Form:

Newcastle (all-competitions): W-L-L-W-W

Everton (all-competitions): L-L-L-D-D

Players to watch:

Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)

Alexander Isak has been in sparkling form recently and has been one of the most important players for the Magpies. The Swede, with 14 goals already in the league so far, is also coming off a brace in their dramatic comeback win over West Ham.

Amadou Onana (Everton)

Amadou Onana has been the lynchpin of the Everton midfield. He provides both the physicality and the passing in the midfield. The Belgian international would be crucial if the Toffees are to stop a pacy and creative Newcastle attack.

Match Facts:

Everton have been winless in their last 9 games.

Injury and team news:

Newcastle United have a lengthy list of players who are unavailable, with the likes of Joelinton, Pope, Wilson, Botman and Lewis Miley all on the sidelines alongside the suspended Sandro Tonali. However, Keiran Trippier might be back to play a role in the match.

Meanwhile, Everton have most of their first team fit and available, with only Dele Alli, Arnaut Danjuma and Lewis Dobbin out with injuries.
