The race for Champions League qualification goes down to the final day, but Newcastle’s task will be straightforward at St. James’ Park. Should the Magpies claim a home win over Everton, they will be playing in the major competition next season.

However, Eddie Howe’s side will need to bounce back to form after failing to win in three of their last five matches.

Everton will have nothing to play for this weekend, which could make them a dangerous opponent after winning each of their last two matches.

The head-to-head record indicates that this could be a tricky assignment for Newcastle. The Magpies are winless in their last three against the Toffees, with the previous meeting this season ending in a 0-0 draw in October.

However, it could be worth noting that Everton have failed to win in their last four away matches against Newcastle since a 2-1 win in December 2019.

Newcastle vs. Everton Key Stats

  • Newcastle will be looking to make a strong start, just as they did against Arsenal last Sunday after registering five shots on target in the opening 17 minutes.

Newcastle vs. Everton Picks

It could be a nervy afternoon at St. James’ Park. The fact that Everton can play with freedom as they have nothing to play for could be an interesting narrative worth following.

However, Newcastle should have enough quality to record the victory that they require to secure their spot in the Champions League.
