Everton have barely had time to celebrate knocking Newcastle out of the Carabao Cup, and they’re already heading back into battle with the same opponents.
Five days, two matches and a rather awkward opportunity for revenge.
David Moyes watched his side produce one of their most convincing performances of the season on Thursday, beating Newcastle 3-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium to reach the quarter-finals.
James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry scored as Everton punished the Magpies’ defensive mistakes. Dan Burn’s late header offered little consolation for a Newcastle side that had dominated possession and registered 24 shots.
Now the two clubs meet again, this time at St James’ Park, with three Premier League points at stake.
For Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle, Monday’s encounter represents an immediate opportunity to respond.
The Magpies had appeared to be turning a corner after their 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace last weekend, which lifted them to eighth in the table. Thursday’s defeat, however, exposed familiar problems at both ends of the pitch.
Everton’s situation is equally intriguing.
Before their cup victory, Moyes’ side had suffered consecutive 2-0 league defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal, leaving them 11th with just eight goals from their opening eight matches.
Thursday’s performance provided a timely reminder that the Toffees possess more attacking quality than their league record suggests.
The visitors also have recent history on their side. Everton won 3-2 at St James’ Park in February and have now beaten Newcastle in four of their last seven meetings across all competitions.
But their away league record offers less encouragement. Everton have yet to win on the road this season, while Newcastle will be determined to avoid a second defeat to the same opponents in less than a week.
Thursday was about reaching a cup quarter-final. Monday is about proving which side can turn a promising performance into consistent Premier League results.
What are the best betting tips for Newcastle vs Everton?
Newcastle to win
Newcastle’s 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat against Everton was disappointing, but the scoreline didn’t tell the entire story. The Magpies registered 24 attempts and enjoyed lengthy spells of possession, only to be punished by Everton’s clinical finishing.
Jaissle’s side had previously beaten Crystal Palace 2-0 in the Premier League, showing greater defensive discipline and attacking purpose after a difficult run of results.
Everton’s cup victory will give them confidence, but their away league form remains a concern. Moyes’ side have failed to win any of their four Premier League matches on the road, drawing three and losing one.
Newcastle will be desperate to respond in front of their own supporters, and their attacking performance on Thursday suggests they can create opportunities. With home advantage and an immediate chance to put things right, I fancy the Magpies to take all three points.
Both teams to score
Newcastle’s defensive record has been a recurring concern this season. The Magpies have conceded 14 goals in eight Premier League matches and kept just two clean sheets.
Everton exploited those weaknesses on Thursday, scoring three times despite spending significant periods without possession. Their attacking performance was a welcome improvement after consecutive league defeats without finding the net.
The Toffees have scored only eight Premier League goals this season, but Thierno Barry’s midweek strike should provide encouragement. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Garner also offer a threat from midfield.
Newcastle have scored 12 league goals themselves, and both teams have found the net in three of their four home fixtures. Given Thursday’s open encounter and the defensive vulnerabilities on both sides, another match featuring goals at both ends looks appealing.
Harvey Barnes to score or assist
Harvey Barnes has been one of Newcastle’s most productive attacking players during an inconsistent start to the season.
The winger has registered two goals and two assists in eight Premier League appearances, while his 19 shots and 13 chances created underline his importance to Jaissle’s attack.
Barnes was involved in Newcastle’s recent victory over Crystal Palace and remains a reliable source of attacking movement, particularly when cutting inside from the left.
Everton defended effectively for long periods on Thursday, but Newcastle still created plenty of opportunities. With Barnes capable of both finishing chances and supplying teammates, backing him to score or assist offers an alternative to the traditional goalscorer market.

Newcastle predicted lineup and team news
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted XI: Hornicek; Dedic, Schär, Burn, Hall; Nico González, Joelinton; Murphy, Willock, Barnes; Wissa.
Matthias Jaissle faces another selection challenge after Thursday’s Carabao Cup defeat. William Osula suffered an ankle injury during the match and is expected to miss Monday’s encounter, potentially opening the door for Yoane Wissa to lead the attack.
Tino Livramento remains sidelined with a knee injury, while goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen is unavailable with a hamstring problem. Lewis Miley and Matias Fernandez-Pardo are doubts and will require further assessment.
Harvey Barnes should retain his place after an encouraging start to the campaign, while Anthony Elanga and Jacob Ramsey are also pushing for opportunities following their recent returns to fitness.
Everton predicted lineup and team news
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted XI: Pickford; Röhl, Tarkowski, O’Brien, Mykolenko; Garner, Hackney; Dibling, Dewsbury-Hall, George; Barry.
David Moyes has a strong argument for retaining the side that defeated Newcastle 3-1 on Thursday. Hayden Hackney impressed in midfield and scored Everton’s second goal, while Thierno Barry also found the net.
Jarrad Branthwaite remains a fitness concern after missing the previous two matches under concussion protocols. Jack Grealish was unavailable for Thursday’s cup tie following a disciplinary issue, and his involvement on Monday remains uncertain.
Tyler Dibling and Tyrique George should be considered for starting roles following the cup victory, although Brennan Johnson and Harrison Armstrong provide alternatives if Moyes decides to freshen up his lineup.

Newcastle vs Everton prediction
Everton will arrive at St James’ Park with renewed confidence after Thursday’s impressive Carabao Cup victory.
Moyes’ side defended resolutely, took their chances and demonstrated an attacking threat that had been missing during recent Premier League defeats.
However, repeating that performance away from home could prove difficult.
Newcastle created plenty of opportunities in the cup encounter, and Jaissle will expect his players to be more clinical in front of their own supporters.
The Magpies’ defensive record remains a concern, particularly after conceding three goals on Thursday. Everton have already demonstrated their ability to exploit those weaknesses, and another away goal would hardly be surprising.
But Newcastle’s recent victory at Crystal Palace showed what they can produce when their attacking players find some rhythm.
Barnes and Wissa should provide a considerable threat, while the hosts will have added motivation following their cup elimination.
I expect another competitive encounter, with Everton capable of causing problems on the counterattack.
However, Newcastle’s home advantage and desire for an immediate response could make the difference.
