Analysis of the match between Newcastle United and Everton
Newcastle are aiming to secure a sixth-ever league double over Everton in Premier League history, following the 1993/94, 1995/96, 2001/02, 2020/21, and 2022/23 seasons. Previously, only Tottenham has achieved a similar feat against a single opponent as many times (7 occasions).
In the first-leg away match, the “Magpies” delivered an impressive attacking display, leading 3-0 by halftime and eventually winning 4-1 against Everton. Newcastle controlled the game well, capitalized on chances efficiently, and finished the match with high shooting effectiveness.
After two consecutive home defeats in the Premier League, Eddie Howe’s side urgently need a victory, especially as Everton have also lost their last two matches. Notably, the Merseyside club has not lost three consecutive games since January 2025, including two under Sean Dyche and one under David Moyes. The last time they suffered three successive Premier League defeats under Moyes was October 2011.
To achieve this goal, Newcastle must limit early goals in the first half. Statistics show that only Burnley (10 goals) have conceded more than Newcastle (9 goals in 8 matches) in first halves this Premier League season. This highlights the importance of maintaining defensive control from the start if they want to beat Everton.
