English Premier League: Everton FC face off against Newcastle United FC

Everton FC and Newcastle United FC are set to face off in a Premier League match on April 27th, 2023. Everton has struggled lately, picking up only 3 points from their last 5 games, and they have failed to win in the last 5 games. Although they have not scored in 2 of their last 5 games, they have scored 4 goals in the last 5 matches.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United is performing well, having picked up 12 points from their last 5 games, both home and away. They have won 4 games and drawn 0 in their last 5 matches. Given their current form, they are more likely to win this fixture. Previous encounters between these two teams have ended with an average of 2.89 goals per match, and BTTS has happened 59% of the time.

Sean Dyche says late decisions will be made on Seamus Coleman and Amadou Onana’s eligibility after the duo returned to training ahead of Everton’s match against Newcastle United on Thursday. Coleman and Onana have both missed the Blues’ last two games due to hamstring and groyne injuries.

Following a three-match ban for his sending off against Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month, Abdoulaye Doucoure is undoubtedly back in contention for a spot in Dyche’s starting lineup. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who returned after a 10-game absence in the goalless draw with Crystal Palace last time out, has “recovered well,” according to Dyche, who revealed the striker looked crisp in training on Wednesday.

Mason Holgate is unavailable because he is serving a one-match ban for his expulsion against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Andros Townsend has resumed individual grass training with the Club’s Sports Science department, and Dyche believes the winger will be eased back into the fold through a return to training schedule after a protracted break. Ruben Vinagre is still out with an injury.
