Everton hosts Newcastle United in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, March 17th at Goodison Park (Liverpool)
Everton is performing poorly this season: the team is on the 17th line in the Premier League standings with only 22 points after 26 matches. The Toffees scored 28 goals and conceded 47 times, and the club bosses were clearly counting on better results. A few months ago, Rafael Benitez was replaced by Lampard, and the first match under Frank’s management ended with a confident victory over Brentford (4-1). But after that, Everton suffered four consecutive defeats. Last weekend the Toffees lost to Wolverhampton at home (0-1). The club sealed some big deals in the transfer window, signing Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli, Manchester United midfielder Donny Van de Beek, and Dynamo Kyiv left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko. However, these players cannot adapt to the new team so far. Defenders Tom Davis and Yerry Mina and midfielder Fabian Delph won’t help the Toffees in the upcoming match.

Newcastle got out of the relegation zone, which the fans of the club have desperately been waiting for. Now the Magpies are in 14th place with a lead of nine points from Burnley. In the last eight games, they gained six victories and one draw: excellent results for recent outsiders! But last Saturday, Newcastle suffered a minimal defeat from Chelsea at Stamford Bridge thanks to an 89th-minute goal by Havertz, but the Black-and-Whites looked no worse than the Blues. Newcastle made such a breakthrough thanks to a perfect transfer campaign in winter. Atlético defender Kieran Trippier, Burnley forward Chris Wood, and Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes joined the team in January and have already made a difference. At least four players won’t help the Magpies in the upcoming game.
These clubs have already crossed paths in the current championship, and then Newcastle turned out to be stronger at home (3-1). In general, Everton managed to gain only one victory in the last seven last head-to-head matches, and it happened back in December 2019. The Toffees are in a deep crisis, and a way out of it is not yet visible. The management changed the coach during the season, but it cannot be said that Frank Lampard somehow significantly improved the game. The Magpies have been showing good football and regularly earning points in the last two months. I think they will manage to gain at least a draw.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with +0.5 handicap
