Newcastle United, coming on the back of a victory in the Carabao Cup fixture, is scheduled to face Everton at Goodison Park next. While the Magpies club enter the fixture after a brilliant recent outing in the Premier League against Manchester City, the Toffees club have also been on a quite good run recently.
Arriving at the fixture with a brilliant comeback win against Crystal Palace in front of their home crowd, Sean Dyche’s Everton side can’t be completely sidelined for the meetup against Newcastle. Though the Toffees find themselves just above the relegation zone, they would certainly back themselves for a remarkable home record against Eddie Howe’s side.
With the key players of both the English clubs coming back to form at the right moment before their clash, the fixture certainly could be one of the best games in the 7th PL matchday. In fact, former Blackburn Rovers forward and currently a football pundit, Chris Sutton, had a similar view before the important fixture, that it is a hard one to predict.
While certainly the former PL forward acknowledged the brilliant display of the Magpies club, he also seemed too reluctant, like Paul Merson, that they would be able to repeat it here. Upon being asked whether Eddie Howe’s side would back their brilliant performance at Goodison Park, Sutton replied,
“”I am not convinced they will.””

Rather, Chris looked much more convinced with Dyche’s Everton side, who, with a complete overall performance, had made a comeback win possible against Crystal Palace after going a goal down early. Sutton, praising the side, said,
““Everton will be buoyed after getting their first win over Crystal Palace. Iliman Ndiaye looks sharp in attack, and they have Jarrad Branthwaite back fit in defense, which I think is big.””

However, still, the football pundit looked a bit indecisive as to who would emerge victorious from the matchday. Speaking on the fixture, Chris Sutton predicted,
““I really don’t know what to expect, so I am going to sit firmly on the fence and go for a draw.””

Overall, like Sky Sports host Paul Merson, football pundit Chris Sutton believes that the fixture Newcastle Vs Everton could most probably end up with points being shared between the two sides. However, Newcastle United, having given such a tough fight to Manchester City in their last PL game, would hope to bag the complete 3 points here.
