Everton Vs Newcastle United Tactical Preview: Team News, Key Men And Streaming Links

Everton will entertain Newcastle United at Goodison Park on Thursday night as both sides look to secure a win in the Premier League. The Toffees suffered a poor 1-0 loss at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, so they will be desperate to collect all three points in front of their home fans.

Similarly, the Magpies suffered a 1-0 defeat against Chelsea but they will still take a lot of positives from that game, especially because of their solid defensive performance at Stamford Bridge that day.

Everton Vs Newcastle United: Talking Tactics

Frank Lampard could set his side up in a 3-4-3 formation and will be forced to make one change to his first XI for this game. The Toffees boss will ask his players to retain possession well in the opponent’s half and create some clear-cut chances to win this contest.

Eddie Howe is expected to opt for a 4-3-3 formation and could make a few tweaks to his starting XI in midweek. The Newcastle manager might instruct his men to defend well and try to cause some problems for the opposition on the counter using the pace of Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy.
