Eddie Howe's team is in 19th place in the Premier League standings with 15 points after 21 rounds. Newcastle gained two victories and nine draws and suffered ten losses. Under the management of Howe, the Magpies are gradually correcting the results in the championship. They rarely win, but they avoid defeat in the last three rounds. After draws against Manchester United (1-1) and Watford (1-1), the Black and Whites gained an away victory over Leeds on January 22 (0-1).

Everton is ranked 16th in the standings with 19 points. The team has five victories, four draws, and 11 defeats after 20 matches. The Toffees are getting closer to the relegation zone with each round, and now they are only four points ahead of it. The results in the last rounds are depressing. In five matches in the Premier League, the Blues achieved a draw against Chelsea and suffered four defeats. Failures in the championship led to the resignation of Rafael Benitez. Everton lost 0-1 to Aston Villa under interim manager Duncan Ferguson, and then the club's management started looking for a coach. Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard was chosen for the role, and his debut was very good. On February 5, the Toffees confidently beat Brentford in the FA Cup (4-1).
Newcastle avoided defeats to the Toffees in the last three head-to-head matches in the Premier League. After a 2-2 draw in January 2020, the Magpies won both games in the 2020/21 season. After a 2-1 home win, Newcastle repeated that success on a foreign pitch (0-2). The results of Newcastle in the last rounds cause cautious optimism. The Black and Whites began to score points on a regular basis and are gradually adjusting to the players acquired by the new owners. Everton is too unstable. A new head coach is unlikely to immediately relieve the team from systemic problems in defense, which conceded in ten games in a row. The more organized home team should take advantage of it and earn at least one point.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with 0.0 handicap
