Match Preview:

The threat of relegation has hung over Newcastle for most of the season but they have always had that bit of quality to put a few games together and feel safe. The Magpies are 6 points from the bottom three and should be ok this season but they are looking to getting back to winning ways after losing 2-0 at West Ham last weekend.

What Rafa Benitez’s men do have is their recent home record which has been outstanding as they have won their last 4 games in a row. Their last win came against Burnley 2-0. A win for Newcastle could move them up a couple of places and within 3 points of Everton.

Everton will be quite content with themselves after last weekend and getting a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. They helped Manchester City to retain top spot and hamper Liverpool’s chances to win the league for the first time since 1990. They have also gone their last two games without defeat which could be encouraging for a side who have been struggling for form for the past few months in the league.

The Toffeemen have lost 50% of their games away from home but have won 2 of their last 3 on the road. A win would take the club to the 40 point mark and depending on what West Ham do could take them into the top 10.
