Everton - Newcastle

The Newcastle team is facing numerous problems, reflected in their results in friendly matches where they have been defeated by significantly weaker teams at home compared to their opponents in the Premier League. With the departure of E. Howie, as well as Guimaraes, Tonali, and Gordon - all of whom were key players in leading the Magpies forward last season - the team is struggling. Despite the arrival of six new players, they have not yet shown promising performances in the start of the season. On the other hand, Liverpool has changed their coach and although the players are still adjusting to the new strategy, the overall mood is positive. Liverpool may be facing some injuries, but their capabilities far surpass those of Newcastle and I predict that even at home, the key league favorites will secure a convincing win.

I had the chance to see Newcastle's friendly matches and the impression was not very good, there is a lack of teamwork and it feels like the key players have left the team. In general, the transfer market seemed to be quite inactive from Newcastle's side this summer, and that was clearly reflected in their preparation. Liverpool also didn't seem very impressive, but they have made some good signings to replace the players who left and that's not the end of it. At this moment, Newcastle simply does not seem to be a team ready to compete with top clubs.
