Newcastle v Everton: Prediction, free tips and bet builder
Eddie Howe
Champions League-chasing Newcastle host mid-table Everton on the final day of the Premier League season. Can we find you some winning tips for the Sunday's clash?
Newcastle need a win to nail themselves into the Champions League places and Everton are on the beach. It would be a shock if the Toon didn't turn up.
Eddie Howe's side currently lie in fourth level on points with third-place Man City, fifth-placed Chelsea and sixth-placed Aston Villa.
Crucially Newcastle's chunky goal difference of 22, 13 more than Villa, is the key factor here.
Beat Everton and they should be home and hosed, lose or draw and they could be caught and find themselves as low as seventh, which would be unpleasant end to what has been a cracking season.
All signs point to a comfortable win for Newcastle, they've won their last six at home and haven't lost to Everton in four and that's when the Toffees were bothered...here they could be very meh.
Everton big Goodison farewell party was last weekend, they are anchored into 13th in the table and they won just two of their last five away from home.
It wouldn't be a surprise if Everton rocked up in flip-flops allowing Newcastle to take full advantage.
Here we pick out some of our best tips for this Premier League meeting, which can be put together into a Betway bet builder if you are feeling brave.

Newcastle to win & under 3.5 goals
Newcastle have won six straight at home, keeping things controlled and tidy at the back, with five of those games producing under 3.5 goals.
Everton rarely get blown away, even when second best, and have lost by more than two goals just once in their last 14 league outings.
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last four games against Everton, winning three and drawing one.
The Magpies have also won eight of their last ten final-day fixtures in the Premier League, while Moyes doesn't have a great recent end of season record. West Ham lost their last three end of season clashes with the Scot at the helm.
Correct score - 2-1
Newcastle are heavy favourites, but this may no be a walkover given Everton’s conservative style.
The reverse fixture at Goodison ended 0-0, one of only four matches Newcastle have failed to score in all season.
Even with injury concerns over top scorer Alexander Isak, Newcastle will have enough to win this fixture.
They’ve only failed to score in two home games all season, while Everton have failed to score in eight of their 18 away matches this season and could snatch one on the break to keep it interesting.
Dwight McNeil score or assist
McNeil is having a good run of form at the end of an injury hit season, with two assists and a goal from his last three games. He's also created the most chances for Everton all season
Bruno Guimaraes +1 shot on target
Guimaraes is the beating heart of this Newcastle side and often takes it upon himself to make things happen. He's had a shot on target in each of his last four matches and with a victory needed he'll be in the thick of the action.
Bruno Guimaraes to be fouled + 2
On the same note Guimaraes is given a lot of attention by rivals side and has been fouled a staggering 104 times this season. In comparison Everton's most fouled player is Iliman Ndiaye on just 49.
The Brazilian has been fouled at least once in the last seven Premier League games, 12 drawn in total, with Arsenal and Palace fouling him three times.
In the reverse fixtures back in October, Everton fouled Guimaraes three times.
