This Thursday, December 7, Everton Football Club will host Newcastle United Football Club, under lights at Goodison Park Stadium in Liverpool. With a forecast of light rain and temperatures of 50°F, fans are eagerly anticipating another exciting match between these two teams, following their last Premier League meeting on April 27, which saw Newcastle United victorious with a 4-1 win.

After a streak of three wins in their last five outings, Everton FC have climbed to 18th in the standings with seven points in fourteen matches. Although they have only won five out of the fourteen matches, they have performed admirably in front of goal, scoring eight times and conceding an average of 1.33 goals. However, they will have to push forward without A. Onana and André Gomes due to injuries. Fortunately, they have managed one win, one draw, and one loss against similarly ranked opponents this year, suggesting the situation is far from dire. With good morale and the right attitude, Everton is expected to rise even further up the standings this season.

With a strong defending squad and a few good attacking options, Newcastle United hopes to continue their run of good form away from home and make this upcoming match another success.
