History of the Everton v Newcastle United fixture

Newcastle Utd. face a trip to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Magpies will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2006, with Everton running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Premiership match.
