Fan Joke Prediction · 90 minutes
Forecast
Pick: Newcastle United to win 2-1.
Reason: Newcastle’s home advantage and last weekend’s clean sheet give them momentum, and Everton are on the back of back-to-back away defeats; The narrow goal difference between the two clubs points to a tight game where Newcastle’s slightly stronger final result and additional midfield options could tip the balance.

Preview — the shape of the device
This is a meeting between two mid-table sides separated by a point but carrying very different short-term trajectories. Newcastle alternated results in their first eight matches and earned a clean sheet to end a two-game losing streak; Everton have slipped after a mixed start, conceding two goals in each of their last two away matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.
The numbers make the difference clear: Newcastle scored 12 goals and conceded 14 (goal difference -2), while Everton’s numbers were 8 in favor and 9 (goal difference -1). This suggests that the matches here will be close; Newcastle’s slightly higher points total and last weekend’s win make them marginal favourites, but Everton’s record of four draws this season highlights their resilience in tight games.
Highlights of the match to watch: Newcastle’s defensive balance after the Palace win and whether Everton will be able to overcome their recent problems in keeping their opponents away from home. Controlling sets and transitions can help decide a close contest.
Team news
Newcastle — last availability (26 October 2026)

The club said the medical team had resolved the issue and Miley’s participation in the match against Everton was uncertain.
- NUFCBlog reports that Tino Livramento and Ewen Jaouen are unavailable, so Newcastle are still missing out on those squad options.
- The same report says that Jacob Ramsey, Joelinton and Nico González are available again, increasing their midfield options and easing the selection tension created earlier in the season.
Everton — latest availability
- Everton’s team news about the match is expected.
Press conferences
On October 26, NUFCBlog reported that Matthias Jaissle commented on Lewis Miley’s absence from the Palace squad: “Unfortunately, he was unable to make the Palace squad due to an abdominal problem.” It’s framed as a question of ongoing availability rather than long-term absence.
“Everton” is expected to hold a special press conference before the match.
Corrections
Confirmed team sheets will appear in the matchday center when they are released. Miley’s fitness remains in doubt; Livramento and Jaouen were reported as unavailable on October 26, subject to any further updates.
