Newcastle United clash with Everton at St James’ Park in the penultimate slice of Premier League action this Boxing Day. The Magpies are unbeaten in three outings heading into this match-up, while the Toffees haven’t tasted victory in their previous quartet of league ties.

Despite besting Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the last four Gameweeks, Newcastle ranked joint-bottom for attempts (29), joint-third-bottom for shots on target (11) and joint-second-bottom for key passes (24), illustrating their inability to fashion many clear-cut scoring opportunities. On the defensive end, the Toon charted joint-second for goals conceded (seven) over that stretch, yet only two sides surrendered fewer big chances (four).

Everton’s offense delivered over the previous four Gameweeks, racking up seven goals while ranking joint-second for shots inside the box (37) and joint-fourth for big chances (nine). However, Roberto Martinez’s men shipped more goals (eight) than any other team and failed to register a solitary clean sheet. Moreover, the Merseysiders placed joint-fifth for shots inside the box conceded (34) and joint-sixth for big chances conceded (eight).

    Why does the Dugout Discussion not have the starting lineups and subs?

    Makes no sense.

      And with the thread being opened just minutes before kick-off there's really no reason not to..

    Got the LMS ownership stats.

    About 18% got Aguero, 1 manager benched him.
    Over 50% for Butland, 70% for Kane and 80% for KDB

    I really do not see who can be picked instead of Vardy. Only one that comes to mind is Agu and Ighalo. Not even sure. Really no idea. Romelu and Kane owned.

    For those chasing surely it's time to transfer Vardy out? Augero for me using two free transfers. No point continuing to play safe and be 75 points behind.

        True, I pulled back 100 points last year but only did so by going off template. I honestly think Vardy will not score more than 10 in remaining league games.
