Paul Merson has predicted on SportsKeeda that Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United will win against Frank Lampard’s Everton at St. James’ Park in the Premier League this week.
Newcastle will lock horns with Everton at home in the league on Wednesday evening.
Former Arsenal star and Sky Sports pundit Merson believes that the Magpies will pick up all three points from the encounter courtesy of a 2-0 win.
Paul Merson predicts Newcastle United v Everton
Merson wrote: “I thought Everton were a bit unlucky last week. They went to Tottenham with a gameplan, but you’ve got to make it count.
“You can’t have the chances they had and then miss them. You’re not going to get too many chances in an away game, and Everton should’ve scored in my opinion.
“I do like what Everton are doing at the moment, but they’ve got to put their chances away. Newcastle have played well under Eddie Howe and should be able to win this game.
“Prediction: Newcastle United 2-0 Everton.”
Who will win?
In our view, Newcastle United will head into the Premier League match against Everton as favourites.
The Magpies are doing well at the moment and appear to be in the hunt for a top-six finish in the Premier League table this season.
Newcastle are also at home for the match against Everton.
Now, the Toffees are doing much better at the moment than they did last season.
Everton are playing well, and you can see the intent in the players to win matches.
England international goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been very good between the posts for the Merseyside club so far this season.
However, we think that the Toffees will not be able to beat Newcastle this week.
