Thierno Barry is developing quite well and leads Everton for shots (27), shots on target (12) and goals (3).

He’s had a shot on target in seven of his eight Premier League appearances, with the exception of Everton’s clash against Man Utd - where he really should have found the target from the four shots he had.

Barry has had multiple shots on target in three of these games, and has had double the number of shots on target of any Everton player.

Only Marcus Tavernier (13) and Erling Haaland (16) have had more shots on target than Barry in the Premier League this season, and both of those players have played an extra game.

Only three sides in the Premier League have conceded more shots on target than Newcastle (5.13 per game), so we can expect Barry to get chances here and extend what is a really impressive record.

Both of these sides have utilised corners and set pieces more widely as an avenue to goal this season.

Only Chelsea (11.25) have seen more corners per game in the Premier League this term than Everton (10.88).

Only Hull (6.63) have conceded more corners per game than David Moyes’ side (6.00), who instructs his side to stay quite narrow when out of possession - encouraging opposition sides to use the wide channels as their main avenue of attack.

Newcastle are seeing an average of 10.00 corners per game in the Premier League, only six sides have had a higher corner count in their league matches this term.

Again, they have an issue when it comes to conceding corners with only Chelsea, Everton and Hull giving away more corners than Matthias Jaissle’s side.

These are two of the worst defences in Serie A.

Sassuolo have conceded more goals than any other side in the division (2.44 per game), with only Monza (4.10 goals per game), seeing a higher overall average for goals in the Italian top flight this term.

Fiorentina aren’t much better at the back, only Monza and their opponents here have conceded more goals than the away side who have seen BTTS in 78% of their matches in Serie A.

Sassuolo have seen BTTS in 89% of their games, setting this one up nicely for goals at both ends. There has been a general increase in goals in Serie A too, 13 of the 20 sides are seeing 3.0 goals per game or higher.
