Everton 9/4 to beat Newcastle in Wednesday’s Premier League clash

Competition: Premier League

Market: Everton to beat Newcastle

Odds: 9/4 @ Bet365

The Premier League returns almost immediately after yet another enthralling round of games at the weekend. The league table has continued to mutate, and it will do so further with another cluster of matches in midweek, as the busy festive period begins to gather pace. With this in mind, rejuvenated Everton travel to face Newcastle on Wednesday.

Newcastle have been struggling massively this season and they are in danger of letting their good start come to nothing. After 16 games they find themselves in 16th-place in the league with 15 points, just two clear of the relegation zone. They have taken just one point from a possible 15 in their last five games, which has seen the pressure on coach Rafael Benitez rise massively. The Magpies have scored 16 goals this season, but they have conceded 25 times already, showing that they need to tighten up at the back if they are to climb up the table this campaign.

Everton have been in much better form in recent weeks following the introduction of Sam Allardyce as their manager. The Toffees are unbeaten in their last three games, winning twice and drawing once, with their last game ending in a very good point at Anfield against Liverpool. Their run has seen them put six points between themselves and the relegation zone, and they are now looking at the teams above them as they try to claw back the sides in the European spots. With this in mind, we are backing Everton with odds of 9/4 from Bet365.
