Take a look at the predicted starting lineups for Newcastle vs Everton in match day 9 of the Premier League taking place at St James’ Park at 21:00 (CEST).
David Moyes’ side claimed an impressive 3-1 victory over the Toffees last Thursday, knocking them out of the EFL Cup campaign, and face the Magpies again tonight this time away from home, where the pressure is on to gain all three points and leapfrog their opponents in the Premier League table.
Matthias Jaissle’s side have hit a dry spell, having lost in three of their last four games, with the exception of a 2-0 Premier League win against crisis club Crystal Palace on match day eight, and will be doing all in their power to redeem themselves tonight and climb back into the top half of the table.
Meanwhile, Everton are unlikely to take full advantage of Newcastle’s defensive issues, who have already conceded 14 goals so far, as the Toffees have failed to find the back of the net in their last two Premier League fixtures. However, Moyes’ men should take heart remembering that they have only been defeated once by the Magpies in their last 7 encounters.
The availability of Osula, and Lewis Miley after enduring injuries remains uncertain, alongside Matias Fernandez-Pardo on account of illness, while both Ewen Jaouen and Tino Livramento are still ruled out due to hamstring and knee injuries. Yoane Wissa will likely make the appropriate swap for Osula.
On Everton’s end, Moyes has remained quiet on the likelihood of Jack Grealish’s appearance, after he infiltrated the news last week after breaching club disciplinary rules having reportedly missed a training session, which means that Tyler Dibling may be called upon to start. Additionally, Merlin Rohl or Jake O’Brien will likely be swapped out should Jarrad Branthwaite be available to return safely within concussion guidelines.
Take a look at the predicted lineups for tonight’s fixture:
Newcastle United possible starting lineup: Hornicek (gk); Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Joelinton, Gonzalez; Murphy, Willock, Barnes; Wissa
Everton possible starting lineup: Pickford (gk); Rohl, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Hackney, Garner; Dibling, Dewsbury-Hall, George; Barry
