With each of the 20 clubs in the Barclays Premier League completing at least 5 matches each, the race for the top spot continues to heat up as there is only a margin of 5 points separating the first place team from the seventh place squad. Thanks to hot starts from clubs including Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham, the BPL is enjoying great success in the early part of the season, with fans everywhere hoping the entertaining gameplay continues right up until the final match of the season.
As the league enters another week of competition, Everton and Newcastle are prepared to jumpstart the upcoming slate with a showdown at Goodison Park. Everton currently sits in eighth position with 9 points thanks to 2 wins and 3 draws while Newcastle (2-1-2, 7 points) remains sixteenth. One of 5 clubs tied with a total of 7 points, Newcastle knows a win over Everton will propel them up the Premier League table but they're also completely aware that their next opponent is the only team yet to drop a game in league competition.
"We have shown is that we have got a real offensive look about us," Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said regarding his team's offensive ability. "But we have got to make sure we are tight enough to cope with that. We weren't against Hull, but in the last three or four games other than that game, we have been and that's important. If we are going to have a more offensive look, then we have got to make sure the back door is shut. It was on Wednesday night. We got a clean sheet again and that was a good thing.''
As they prepare to meet for the 165th time in all levels of competition, Everton and Newcastle will renew one of the most evenly played rivalries in the Premier League.
Everton has taken down Newcastle 65 times while falling to the Magpies 64 times. Playing to a 2-2 draw in their first meeting a season ago, the teams have now played to a tie on 35 occasions. Last playing on January 2, Everton defeated Newcastle 2-1 in front of 49,300 fans at St James' Park.
