“No way, there’s no way that’s never going to happen to Everton”- Ian Wright strongly DISAGREES with Gary Neville’s prediction as Newcastle United take on Everton
Newcastle Look to End Season on a High Against Everton at St James’ Park
Newcastle United will wrap up their Premier League campaign on Sunday with a home fixture against Everton, who are themselves coming off an emotional farewell to Goodison Park.
With Everton now having little to play for aside from pride, Newcastle are seen as favourites—but as always in football, nothing is guaranteed.
The Magpies will need to be sharp and focused if they want to finish the season on a positive note.
David Moyes has breathed new life into the Everton squad, and they’ll be keen to maintain their recent momentum despite having no major stakes left in the table.
Bold Predictions from The Overlap Panel
That hasn’t stopped pundits from backing Newcastle to dominate. On the latest episode of The Overlap, Sky Sports’ Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher predicted a convincing win for the home side in the Super 6, forecasting a 3-0 result.
Meanwhile, Roy Keane, Jill Scott, and Ian Wright predicted a more conservative 2-0 victory—though Wright was quick to challenge the bolder call:
“There’s no way. That’s never going to happen.”
While a 2-0 or 3-0 win might sound confident, Newcastle’s inconsistent form in high-stakes moments has fans cautious.
With a Champions League spot still a slim possibility, the pressure is high—and nerves are beginning to show.
It’s About More Than Just the Champions League
Fitness could play a crucial role in the outcome. If Alexander Isak returns to the lineup, hopes will be high for a strong attacking display.
But if Callum Wilson leads the line, the team’s wide players will need to deliver more than ever.
Regardless of what’s at stake in the table, for many fans this match is about pride.
“Champions League or not, it’s the way we finish that matters,” one fan sentiment echoes.
“If we come this far and blow it on the last day, it’ll feel crushing—not just for the players, but for all of us who’ve believed all season.”
There’s still European football and a potential trophy to look forward to, but as with any story, it’s the ending that sticks.
Newcastle will be desperate to finish on a high and avoid a sour final chapter.
