The latest round of Premier League fixtures concludes at Goodison Park on Monday evening as unbeaten Everton host a Newcastle United side with four wins in their last five games.

The Toffee’s at the only side in the top flight yet to taste defeat this season, and will move into the top four if they win here by two or more goals.

Darron Gibson is in line for his first appearance of the season after recovering from a knee injury.

Last weekend’s come-from-behind win at West Ham United – their first away league victory since January 2nd – was secured by new striker Romelu Lukaku, and the Belgium international is 5.5 (9/2) with William Hill to open the scoring here.

Leighton Baines, who scored two impressive free-kicks at Upton Park, is available at a generous 6.5 (11/2) to hit the net at any time ahead of Gareth Barry, who is 10.0 (9/1) with Betfred to celebrate his 500th Premier League appearance with a goal.

Roberto Martinez’s men are odds on to take all three points, with a variety of firms offering a price of 1.67 (4/6), with the visitors 5.0 widely available at 6.0 (5/1). The draw is 4.0 (3/1) with Bet Victor.

Newcastle slipped to sixteenth place following the results of the other games in the league this weekend, but will replace Everton in eighth place if they emerge victorious here.

Alan Pardew is likely to recall Yohan Cabaye, Loic Remy and Hatem Ben Arfa, who were all rested midweek.

Steven Taylor and Shoala Ameobi could also return to the starting line-up after shaking off injuries, but Jonas Gutierrez is set to miss out.

Remy is 9.0 (8/1) with William Hill to get the first goal of the game, with Ben Arfa a 12.0 (11/1) shot with the same firm.

Nine of the last eleven meetings between the sides have featured three or more goals, and you can back there being over 2.5 scored this time around at 1.85 (17/20) with Bet 365.

However, with six of Everton’s last seven victories coming without them conceding, you may be tempted to back the home win to nil at 3.0 (2/1) with Coral.
