Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Newcastle United and Everton.
The two sides are set to face each other on matchday 12 in the domestic top tier in the midweek.
The Magpies are currently sitting in 6th place in the league table with 15 points. Frank Lampard's side, meanwhile, are in 14th place with 10 points.
Ahead of the clash, Merson hash shared his thoughts, backing Eddie Howe's team to celebrate a 2 - 0 win over the rivals.
"I thought Everton were a bit unlucky last week. They went to Tottenham with a gameplan, but you've got to make it count. You can't have the chances they had and then miss them. You're not going to get too many chances in an away game, and Everton should've scored in my opinion," the pundit said, via Sportskeeda.
"I do like what Everton are doing at the moment, but they've got to put their chances away. Newcastle have played well under Eddie Howe and should be able to win this game."
