Gordon has now moved into a central area for Newcastle, and appears to be Eddie Howe’s go-to choice ahead of the £130 million worth of strikers he purchased in the summer.

He has only netted three Premier League goals this season, but his four-goal haul in Qarabag lately will have jolted his confidence in the right direction.

Two of those that night were, of course, penalties, with Gordon being the designated taker for Newcastle, which is always a nice bonus when backing a shot on target selection.

Domestically, Gordon has averaged 0.85 shots on target per 90, but that data doesn’t account for penalties, as that’s how all three of his league goals have been netted.

He was on target twice in his last Premier League match, despite Newcastle struggling for long periods against Manchester City.

Of course, there’s some added needle here for Gordon, who will no doubt be jeered by the Everton fans and very keen to respond.

Garner has been superb for Everton this season, and as the campaign has gone on, he has got his flowers more and more from Premier League fans.

He’s very versatile, and what started out as a filling-in situation at right back has turned into an indispensable arrangement. 

Garner isn’t the most prolific in the foul market, but he’s a solid pick.

He’s been carded six times in the Premier League this season, the 2nd-highest in the Everton squad.

He’s averaged 0.97 fouls per 90, so just below the threshold we’d ideally be looking for, but this is a selection that’s been landing consistently lately.

He’s made one or more fouls in six of his last eight matches; he’s actually made two in two of those, and three in another two.

Newcastle’s left-hand side is a good spot for fouls drawn, too. Joe Willock will likely be Garner’s primary opponent; he’s drawn 1.05 fouls per 90 this season. Lewis Hall likes to get forward too; he’s one of Newcastle’s most fouled players at 1.61 times per 90.

Newcastle are a bit of a corner machine. They have a very big, physical side, and they like to take advantage of that wherever they can, especially with the quality deliveries on offer from Kieran Trippier.

Newcastle have averaged 6.85 corners per match in the Premier League this season, which rises to a huge 7.46 when playing at home. They’ve had a minimum of four corners in every single home game, and this selection has landed in 92% of them.

Everton only conceded 4.21 corners at home, but the average rises considerably on the road, despite their impressive record for results.

They’ve conceded an average of 5.77 corners per match on their travels and have shipped five or more in 69% of them.

Newcastle battered Everton in the reverse fixture 4-1, and racked up seven corners in the process.

Regardless of Everton’s away record, The Toon will have sustained spells of pressure here and should cover this line.

Following on from the previous selection, a barrage of Newcastle corners allows for a chance to get their big men on the end of them. You’d expect that Dan Burn would be a big focal point, which he can be for initial contact, but he’s had just four shots in the Premier League this season.

Thiaw has been a superb addition to the Newcastle backline and carries a serious threat in the opposition box.

He’s had 22 shots this season, an average of 0.98 per 90 minutes and has also scored four goals, which is the 4th-highest in the Newcastle squad.

He’s had one or more shots in six of his last seven matches in all competitions. He’s regularly gone over one, with his recent record reading: 1, 2, 0, 3, 2, 1, 2. He’s also hit the target quite regularly of late. In fact, he’s hit the target in four of his last five, and had two on target during that run against Tottenham.

Also, he was extremely successful against Everton earlier in the season. He netted twice that day.
