Everton's meet Newcastle worries me. Their triumph against Nottingham was refreshing, but Newcastle seems intimidating. Newcastle has played well recently, notably against Manchester United. As an Everton fan, I'm worried. However, hope remains. Everton may draw by taking a more defensive attitude and focusing on counterattacks. We've seen the team rally in terrible times. Strategy rules now. Sean Dyche must play his cards perfectly or the Toffees may pull off another surprise.
You don't need to worry about that because this season Everton may still be able to save themselves from being relegated in the Premier League. But if we win against Newcastle, I think it will be quite difficult for Everton because Newcastle still has better abilities than Everton, so it would be very normal if Everton were unable to beat Newcastle in this week's match at home. However, if Everton is able to overcome Newcastle's strength well enough in that match, I will also praise Everton after the match is over.
Everton and Newcastle both won their last matches, but Newcastle was the better team. I don't think it's too risky to expect Newcastle to win the game against Everton, they are the favorites based on their performance. Even if Everton plays at home, then I think the morale of the players is not good after the points deduction. They are under huge pressure and I don't think they can steal any points from Newcastle.
I agree that Everton are still very likely to avoid relegation this season because they have 24 games yet to play. Everton can improve and return to their best form, but not when Everton plays Newcastle or a better team.
Even if they won the last match run but the difference is still quite large in my opinion because however the quality is currently quite lame when comparing Everton and Newcastle.
At the moment Newcastle are definitely favorites because apart from anything it is difficult for Everton with the current conditions, in fact they are still in a down state in terms of mentally due to performance and reduction of points.
I am quite sure of the results later for Newcastle in this match because however with Newcastle's strength now they can still maximize 3 points especially with the reappearance of Isak in the squad.
