Newcastle United face a swift Premier League rematch with Everton at St James' Park on Monday, just four days after a 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat at Goodison Park. The league fixture offers an immediate chance for Matthias Jaissle's side to address their recent inconsistent form. Newcastle currently sit eighth in the Premier League with 11 points from eight games, having recorded three wins and two draws.
Everton won the cup tie convincingly last Thursday, with James Garner scoring his first goal for the club and Thierno Barry adding a double. Dan Burn netted a late consolation for Newcastle in the 88th minute. The result extended a mixed run for the Magpies, who sit eighth in the Premier League with 11 points from eight games, just one point and three places above their upcoming opponents. That league position leaves them ten points behind leaders Manchester City.
Recent Form and Context
Their last five results across all competitions show two wins and three losses, specifically the cup defeat to Everton, a 2-0 league win at Crystal Palace, a 0-1 home loss to Aston Villa, a heavy 4-1 defeat at Coventry, and a 2-1 home win over Hull City. They have scored 12 league goals but conceded 14, leaving them with a negative goal difference. The club's injuries list includes several key players, with William Osula, who scored against Palace, among those currently sidelined. He is joined on the sidelines by E. Jaouen, V. Livramento, M. Fernandez-Pardo, and L. Miley.
Everton, managed by David Moyes, arrive 11th in the table and have not won a major trophy since 1995. Their last league outing was a 2-0 loss at Arsenal. Former boxer and pundit Tony Bellew has backed his team for the trip to Tyneside. "It won't be easy, but we'll be there, we'll be screaming," Bellew said.
Monday's match kicks off at 8pm local time and is a key opportunity for Newcastle to stabilise their league position ahead of a busy November. The teams last met in the league at St James' Park in a 2-2 draw during the 2025-26 season.
