The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Everton lock horns with an impressive Newcastle United side in an important encounter at St. James' Park on Tuesday.
Newcastle United vs Everton Preview
Everton are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The Magpies edged West Ham United to a narrow 4-3 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
