Newcastle Predicted XI: Everton (H)

Newcastle United will be looking to make it five straight home wins in the Premier League when the entertain Everton on Saturday.

That run has included crucial victories over Cardiff, Huddersfield and Burnley as well as the scalp of Manchester City.

This has led the Magpies climb up to 14th in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone.

However, United suffered a setback last time out as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the London Stadium, just their second defeat in their last seven.

Their opponents come off the back of an impressive point in the Merseyside derby as they hope to keep up their ambitions of finishing best of the rest in 7th.

Newcastle sit six points behind the Toffees going into their clash with another win likely to ease any relegation worries and potentially look at another top-half finish.

Rafa Benitez will be without midfielder Sean Longstaff who has shone in recent matches with a knee injury potentially ruling him out for the rest of the season.

Here’s how we predict the Newcastle team to line up…
