Everton host Newcastle United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday 29 October, with the EFL Cup last 16 bringing two Premier League sides together at 7.45pm.
A tie that closes out the round sees Everton, settling into their new home, take on a Newcastle United side that remains maddeningly inconsistent but dangerous on their day.
Goals have been hard to come by for the Toffees lately, and that shapes how Anthony Eadson approaches the two Premium Tips.
Premium Tips
Two Premium Tips for Everton vs Newcastle United, with Anthony Eadson expecting a tight tie and backing Newcastle’s top scorer to find the net.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Under 2.5 goals | 11/10 (Betway) | Everton’s games have been tight affairs. Six of their eight Premier League matches have produced two goals or fewer, and four of their five home games in all competitions have stayed under 2.5 goals. The Toffees have scored just eight league goals and drew a blank in each of their last two games. Newcastle’s three away wins this season all came with clean sheets, 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur, 1-0 at Millwall and 2-0 at Crystal Palace, and three of the last five meetings also stayed under the line. Betway’s 11/10 is the best price around. |
| Harvey Barnes to score anytime | 14/5 (Ladbrokes) | Harvey Barnes is Newcastle’s leading scorer in all competitions with four goals, two in the Premier League and two in the 3-2 EFL Cup win over West Bromwich Albion. He has started all eight league games, and his six shots on target are the most in the Newcastle squad. Barnes also scored in the 2-0 win at Crystal Palace last time out, while Everton have conceded in each of their last three league games. At 14/5 with Ladbrokes, he looks the pick of the anytime scorer market. |

How Everton go into the game
Everton go into this 11th in the Premier League on 10 points, with two wins, four draws and two defeats from eight. They have scored just eight goals and conceded nine, the profile of a tight, low-scoring side that has drawn half of its games.
The Toffees arrive off back-to-back defeats, 2-0 at Arsenal and 2-0 at home to Chelsea, failing to score in both. Their home form is their stronger suit, with two wins from four Premier League games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but goals have been in short supply.
How Newcastle United go into the game
Newcastle United come to Merseyside eighth in the Premier League on 11 points, with three wins, two draws and three defeats. They have scored 12 and conceded 14, numbers that capture a side capable of blowing hot and cold from one week to the next.
The Magpies go into this off a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace, but their last five also includes heavy away defeats, 4-1 at Leeds United and 4-1 at Coventry City. When Newcastle are on song they are a match for anyone, but their defending on the road can be loose.
