History of the Everton v Newcastle United fixture

Everton prepare to entertain Newcastle United at Goodison Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, winning 53.52% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Goodison Park was less than a year ago, in April 2003, the Blues carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premiership match.
