“‘Not Sure’: Chris Sutton’s Prediction for Everton vs. Newcastle Highlights One Key ‘Sharp’ Toffees Player”
"Everton Aiming to Capitalize on Their First Win of the Season with a Victory Against Newcastle Before the International Break"
Sean Dyche’s Everton have struggled to hold onto leads this season, but they finally managed to see off Crystal Palace last week, which helped them climb the table.
However, their next challenge is a tough one, as they welcome Eddie Howe’s Newcastle to Goodison Park.
Newcastle, who recently held Manchester City to a draw, are showing signs of being Champions League contenders again under Howe.
But like Everton, their inconsistency makes it difficult to predict their performance.
Chris Sutton, giving his prediction for the BBC, has noted just how tough it is to call this match. Sutton described it as a game that could go either way.
“I’ve got a big coin here, and I am just tossing it up. That’s how hard it is to call this one,” Sutton said.
He added, “Newcastle had their best performance of the season against Manchester City last week, but I’m not convinced they’ll replicate that here.
Everton, on the other hand, will be confident after their win over Crystal Palace.
Iliman Ndiaye looks sharp in attack, and Jarrad Branthwaite being back in defence is a big boost.”
Sutton concluded by predicting a draw, acknowledging how unpredictable both teams have been.
Everton desperately need to build consistency if they want to avoid another relegation battle.
As Sutton pointed out, the signing of Ndiaye has been a positive move, and Everton are certainly capable of beating Newcastle on their day.
However, Newcastle, too, have the quality to dominate Everton if they’re on form.
This unpredictability makes the game particularly hard to forecast, as both teams have shown flashes of brilliance and inconsistency.
As Sutton humorously noted, it feels like a coin toss, though perhaps one with more than two sides!
