Newcastle - Everton

Yoane Wissa remains the focal point for Newcastle United as they prepare to host Everton on 2 November 2026 for this Premier League matchday 9 encounter. The forward will be expected to lead the line alongside Joelinton, aiming to sharpen a Newcastle attack that has endured a turbulent run, including a recent loss to Aston Villa and a heavy defeat to Coventry City. With Lewis Miley and Matias Fernandez-Pardo sidelined, the home side will look to their midfield trio of Harvey Barnes, Joseph Willock, and Jacob Murphy to restore stability and control at St James' Park.

Everton arrive following a morale-boosting victory over their hosts in the EFL Cup on 29 October 2026. While the visitors have struggled for consistency in the league, evidenced by recent losses to Arsenal and Chelsea, the absence of Jarrad Branthwaite will test their defensive resolve. Brennan Johnson and Thierno Barry are expected to spearhead the Everton attack, hoping to exploit the spaces left by a Newcastle side eager to avenge their midweek cup disappointment.
