Newcastle United and Everton lock horns for the second time in five days as they meet on Monday night at St James' Park, this time in the Premier League.
The Toffees dumped Newcastle out of the EFL Cup on Thursday evening with a 3-1 Hill Dickinson Stadium success.
The Magpies' home form under new boss Matthias Jaissle is patchy at best and only champions Arsenal have overcome Everton's resistance in four Premier League away trips so far.

Newcastle United v Everton Prediction
Best Bet: Draw @ 5/2
These teams met four days ago when Everton ran out 3-1 winners in the EFL Cup on their own patch. That will fuel belief the Toffees can come here and get something, as will the knowledge they have prevailed in their last two trips to St James' Park and have won five of their last 10 at the ground.
Everton have proved stubborn on the road, with three Premier League stalemates on their travels prior to a 2-0 defeat at champions Arsenal last time, when they were undone by the Gunners' set-piece routines.
Newcastle have a lone success in four league games in the north east under Jaissle and the Magpies have yet to land a shutout, conceding six times.
The Magpies have a poor record on Monday Night Football, too, losing 21 of their last 32 games, with 4-1 reverses at Leeds and Coventry this season already. They can arrest that trend but a full three-point return may evade them.
Alternative Bet: Newcastle Race to 7 Corners @ 8/5
Newcastle should dominate territorially and that bodes well for them on the corner count. They won that battle 10-4 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Thursday despite their defeat.
The Magpies have taken 53 corners in the last six Premier League meetings with Everton, averaging 8.83 per game in that sequence.
They took at least seven corners in all instances and reached double figures three times. The hosts can win the race to seven corners.

Dan Burn's late headed goal for Newcastle on Thursday evening sparked a bit of a melee and four players, two from each side, were cautioned.
There is the potential for some overspill in this game, with familiarity likely to breed some degree of contempt.
Kieran Dewsbury-Hall should be in the thick of the action and has been fouled an average of two times per game in his last 10 in the Premier League.
Newcastle's Nico Gonzalez (15) and Everton's Harrison Armstrong (10) have committed more fouls in the league than any of their teammates so far this season and collected six cautions between them.
They form a good combination for a booking if there is any hangover from Thursday's second half, which yielded eight cautions.
Thierno Barry got Everton's third goal in that contest, taking his tally to seven in all competitions for the Toffees. He also netted in a pre-season meeting of these clubs in Edinburgh and has two EFL Cup assists.
The French forward can make another goal contribution here, with Everton having scored in 14 of their last 15 visits to St James' Park.
