Everton Line-Ups for Newcastle as New Formation and Nathan Patterson Decisions Made

Jake O'Brien returns from suspension at right-back as Everton aims to extend their unbeaten away run to six matches, putting Nathan Patterson's place under pressure.

  • On Saturday, Everton travel to St James' Park for a 3pm kick-off with Jake O'Brien returning from suspension, enabling James Garner to revert to midfield, while Nathan Patterson remains a last resort option.
  • Because Everton have been stronger away than at home, Moyes reshuffles amid their 7/1 home winless streak and Newcastle's league slide with Jacob Ramsey's knock.
  • Analysts point to Jarrad Branthwaite's left-back outing amid Moyes' 'square pegs in round holes' approach and suggest recalling Vitalii Mykolenko; a 4-2-3-1 midfield trio with Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Merlin Rohl is proposed.
  • With the clubs separated by one point, Everton sit one point above Newcastle, while betting markets favour a draw with both teams to score and over 10.5 corners.
  • Newcastle's continental run has raised stakes in the fixture as their Champions League last-16 progression after a 9-3 aggregate win boosts Tyneside hopes, while St James' Park has been rocking this week.
