Newcastle v Everton odds, prediction and a 40/1 first scorer tip!

Every single outfield player in the Everton starting XI had at least one shot at goal against Burnley on Boxing Day.

Which means there could be some good first goalscorer prices to be had on Tyneside.

We take a look at Carlo Ancelotti's second match in charge of the Blues, from a punting perspective.

Win, lose or draw?

Newcastle's home record is formidable.

Only Arsenal have won on Tyneside this season - and that was on the opening weekend of the season. Even then The Gunners were fortunate.

But four of Toon's nine home Premier League outings have ended drawn, and the Ancelotti effect can steer Everton to another. The draw is a big 12/5 with thepools.com

Newcastle average a measly 3.2 corners a game at home, while Everton average 5.8 on their travels.

Under 11 corners is 3/4 and worth considering.

Who's a good bet for first scorer?

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is only second favourite amongst the Everton players to score first, at a very tempting 11/2 . Richarlison is thepools.com's favourite at 9/2 .

But if you're looking for a long shot, Djibril Sidibe was played in an advanced right midfield role on Boxing Day, was denied a goal only by Nick Pope's outstretched foot and is a massive 40/1 shot!

Who's on penalties?

Everton are due a spot kick. They have only been awarded one all season, in the Carabao Cup, duly converted by Gylfi Sigurdsson. He's an 11/4 anytime scorer - but don't overlook Leighton Baines. If Carlo Ancelotti does rotate his squad Baines could come in and may get the opportunity to add to his 25 successful spot-kicks. He's a 13/2 anytime scorer.

Will Everton keep a clean sheet?

Back to back clean sheets for only the second time this season is promising. But only Brighton have kept Newcastle's forwards  out at St James' Park this season.

Both teams To Score is 5/6 , while a 'No' in the Both Teams To Score box is 10/11 .
