These two meet often enough to be memorable, and the last time they met Everton went away and beat Newcastle United 3-1 on their own ground back in August. Cup games like the Carabao Cup often produce a different pattern from the league, because neither side takes the field with the same rhythm as a normal fixture. Everton return home after losing two in a row in the league, but before that they were winning at home without conceding. Their home defending can still be trusted. Newcastle United have just won 2-0 in their latest league game, but in the three before that they were thrashed 1-4 twice. Their away defending is not settled, and they concede late in games often - 26% of all the goals they concede. This game is likely to see Everton as the side that has to open up and attack, because they are at home and want to restore confidence, while Newcastle United will probably sit back and wait for the moment to counter at speed, a pattern that keeps them in with a chance of not losing this game.
