Everton vs Newcastle United: Lee Ryder's Premier League prediction

Newcastle United head to Everton under pressure in the Premier League's relegation dogfight.

Without a win at Goodison Park since 2010, when a Hatem Ben Arfa rocket won it for the Magpies, Steve Bruce's future continues to look precarious.

Mike Ashley doesn't want to change manager but Bruce is working with a third assistant manager in Graeme Jones.

Whether it produces the winning performance remains to be seen.

Lee Ryder's Premier League prediction

Everton in decent form going into this one after a creditable draw against Leicester City in midweek, a good FA Cup win over Sheff Wed and three points at Wolves.

Newcastle on the other hand, head to Merseyside in freefall and know other teams are catching them up.

With Graeme Jones only able to spend a couple of sessions with the squad at the training ground, his impact could take time.

Nobody would be surprised if Everton win this at a canter, and I can see a home win for the Toffees.

Referee

Stuart Attwell (Warwickshire)

Was in charge of the win at St James' Park between the two sides.

Betting

Everton are 13/5 for the win with both teams to score.
