Newcastle United vs Everton Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 25 May 2025
• Kick-off Time: 3:00 pm GMT
• Venue: St. James' Park, United Kingdom

The last matchday of the 2024/25 Premier League season will see Newcastle United welcoming Everton at St James' Park. It has been yet another thrilling English campaign, and both clubs have played their respective parts in that journey. Newcastle has been one of the best-performing sides in the division, currently in third place, and looking all set to qualify for next season's Champions League. Everton is in 13th place and has safely escaped the horrors of relegation that were troubling the club a few months ago. The Newcastle United vs Everton fixture will be a great way to end the Premier League season.

Newcastle United will be content with how the recent matches have played out. In the last six games, the Magpies have managed four victories, along with a draw and a defeat. Eddie Howe's men, importantly, defeated Chelsea last weekend, which has put the club in the front seat as far as the Champions League is concerned. It has been a tremendous campaign for Newcastle, having also lifted the Carabao Cup. Newcastle United has scored 1.9 goals per game in the league, which is the second highest.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the latest games of Everton. The Toffees have collected two wins, two draws, and two defeats in the last six outings. Everton fans will be grateful for the appointment of David Moyes mid-season, which has saved the club from the prospect of relegation. The supporters will hope for significant investment in the summer and more inspiration from the coaches and the players, as Everton gears up to shift to its new stadium. Beto has scored the most goals for Everton in the Premier League (eight).

Key Players to Watch in Newcastle United vs Everton

Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton)

Everton was certainly fortunate to retain the services of Jarrad Branthwaite this summer. The 22-year-old defender was the centre of interest for several clubs in the summer transfer window but ended up staying at the club. Everton might not be that lucky in the coming months, with Branthwaite surely looking at his potential future homes. His profile is highlighted by passing, build-up, tackling, and mentality.

Sandro Tonali (Newcastle United)

Sandro Tonali has made a triumphant return to professional football after serving a year on the sidelines. Tonali is the perfect embodiment of the modern-day box-to-box midfielder.

His physicality allows him to operate at the highest level possible in Eddie Howe's system. His ability to make long, daunting runs from deeper parts of the midfield has often paid dividends to Newcastle United this season. Tonali has four goals and two assists this season.

Newcastle United vs Everton Prediction
