Everton

Everton, who have had a great start to the season, are currently in a bit of a slump. Led by David Moyes, the team went on an eight-game unbeaten run overall, but suffered consecutive 2–0 defeats and two defeats against Arsenal. The latest defeat against Arsenal was Moyes' 400th defeat in charge and exposed a flaw that plagued Everton earlier this season: an inability to score goals.

Apart from the teams in the relegation places, Everton have scored the fewest goals so far, they have scored only 8 goals, which shows their difficulties in the bottom three. With less concern about the situation in the Premier League this season, the EFL Cup is a beautiful opportunity for Everton to secure a long-awaited bowl.

Everton have already won against Preston North N and Wolves and will be looking to progress to this round.

Team News

Jarrad Branthwaite is a problem and Jack Grealish is a doubt with illness. Moyes plans to make some changes, but not a complete overhaul, as his squad size is limited. Michael Keane, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Hayden Hawkins and Carlos Algarz could all be given a chance, while Tyler Dippling could get a chance early on in the tournament as he has excelled in previous matches.

Newcastle

Things have improved a lot for Newcastle on Merseyside as they secured an important league win at Crystal Palace. Mathias Zeisle's side have been under pressure from three defeats in recent times, but the pressure was lifted with a 2-0 win at Influence Park, and the Magpies have climbed to the top of the Premier League table.

Since the 2022-23 season, Newcastle are also the team with the most wins in the EFL Cup, which shows how much importance they attach to their Champions Cup. Newcastle have already won against West Ham and Millwall and will be looking to reach the quarter-finals for the fourth time this season.

Team News

Complications continue. Mathias Fernandez-Barto and Luis Mailey are both doubts, while Dino Livramento and Eun Javon are also unavailable. However, Jaisle still wants to pick a strong team. Harvey Barnes and William Osula, who had excellent performances against Crystal Palace, are fighting to secure their places, while Anthony Elanga and Jacob Ramsey are available for consideration due to recent fitness issues.

Key Features to Note

• Everton have lost their last two Premier League matches without scoring a goal.

• Newcastle overcame a difficult run with a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace.

• The Magpies have shown strong EFL Cup records in recent seasons.

• Everton have only scored 8 league goals so far.

• Newcastle have reached the EFL Cup quarter-finals in the last four seasons.

• The two teams meet again in the Premier League in about four days.

End

Everton's home dominance and determination to progress will ensure it will be a tough match, especially given Moyes' desire to host a tough bowl game. However, Newcastle seem to have more attacking potential and have come away with renewed confidence with the win at Crystal Palace.

Following their form in this competition in past years, expect a tough match with few chances, but Newcastle's more attacking energy will make them more likely to win in the end.

What happens next

The result of this match will give both the teams progress to the upcoming Premier League meeting. Everton need to improve their goalscoring ability, otherwise progress in the EFL Cup will be difficult. In the next encounter, both teams will look for opportunities to improve their game.
