Our predictions for Newcastle vs Everton
The match at St. James' Park is expected to be a closely fought contest, with both teams needing to end their seasons on a high.

Head-to-Head Record
Newcastle and Everton have a competitive history, but it's the Toffees who have had the upper hand over the last decade or so. That being said, Everton haven't won at St. James' Park since 2019, so they're the underdogs heading into this one.
Newcastle haven't won against Everton since 2022, so history suggests a closely contested battle to bring the season to a close.

- Callum Wilson vs Jordan Pickford: With Isak potentially out, Wilson's performance will be vital for Newcastle. Pickford's shot-stopping ability will be tested if Wilson gets opportunities.
