Newcastle United v Everton: Matchweek 9 preview, lineups, injuries, prediction

Newcastle United will host Everton at St James’s Park on November 2 in Matchweek 9 of the 2026-27 Premier League, with the fixture following Everton’s recent EFL Cup victory over the Magpies.

Matthias Jaissle’s Newcastle were eliminated from the Carabao Cup after conceding two first-half goals and a third in the 69th minute; they scored a late goal but it was not enough. In the league, Newcastle’s most recent result was a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace, though the club’s inconsistent form means home advantage may not be decisive.

Everton arrive having lost two consecutive Premier League matches but with the confidence of a 3-1 EFL Cup win that eliminated Newcastle; the Toffees will seek to translate that result into momentum in the league. The visitors may face pressure being away from home, yet the source notes Everton’s recent outings against the Magpies have been positive and that Everton have been strong in their last three meetings.

Against Everton in the cup, Joseph Willock was Newcastle’s standout performer despite the 1-3 defeat: the 27-year-old assisted Newcastle’s only goal, created the most chances (6) and registered the joint-most touches (7) in the opposition box. Those figures underline his central role in Newcastle’s midfield for that match.

The preview identifies a 24-year-old Frenchman as an important attacking presence for Everton, noting that in the recent cup game he scored and provided an assist and won the Player of the Match award. The article adds that Thierno Barry will again aim to impact the final third and could pose a threat to Newcastle’s defence.

Newcastle will be without Valentino Livramento and Ewen Jaouen due to injury, while Lewis Miley, William Osula and Matias Fernandez-Pardo remain unconfirmed because of fitness concerns. Everton might miss Jarrad Branthwaite due to a concussion.

Projected lineups given in the source are: Hornicek (GK); Dedic, Schar, Burn, Hall; Gonzalez, Joelinton; Elanga, Willock, Barnes; Wissa — Pickford (GK); Rohl, Tarkowski, O’Brien, Mykolenko; Armstrong, Garner; Johnson, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry. The preview predicts a close game with the scoreline Newcastle United 2-3 Everton.
