Everton, a top-flight division player since 1954/55, has seen a consistent decline in recent years, barely securing survival in the last few seasons. This season, they are in the relegation zone due to a ten-point decision for breaching financial fair play. If not for this, they would be in 12th place. Despite this, Everton’s current performance suggests they will soon move up the league’s table.

Newcastle, a rising team with significant investment from new owners, finished fourth in the Premier League last year and secured a Champions League appearance for the first time since 2002/03. Currently, they are 3rd in a challenging group with Borussia Dortmund, PSG, and AC Milan. A win against AC Milan could secure the next phase of the competition. Currently, they are 6th in the Premier League with 26 points, three points away from their desired 4th place.

The Premier League has imposed a 10-point deduction on the team, causing Amadou Onana, Dele Alli, and Andre Gomes to miss previous games. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also questionable due to a calf injury. The club filed an official appeal, stating that the severity of the sanctions is not fair or reasonable. Coach Sean Dyche stated that the point deduction would not affect the players.

Newcastle is facing a significant injury crisis, with up to ten players potentially missing for the upcoming game against Everton. The team’s best goalkeeper, Nick Pope, is also on the list due to a shoulder injury from the previous game against Manchester United. Martin Dubravka is expected to start on goal. Former Everton winger Anthony Gordon is questionable due to a knock from the Manchester United match, but has a 75% chance of playing against his former club. Midfielder Sandro Tonali is suspended for ten months due to breaching betting rules, unavailable until August 27th, 2024.
