Yesterday’s midweek Premier League action certainly didn’t disappoint and we’re fortunately in store for another two exciting clashes this evening.

Reigning champions and fallen giants Chelsea face the ever-tricky proposition of Quique Flores’ Watford side, whilst relegation battlers Newcastle United visit underachievers Everton in a 7.45pm kick-off at Goodison Park.

The stats, current league standings and home advantage all suggest the Toffees are the favourites for this one. 12th-placed Everton have beaten 18th-placed Newcastle five times from their last six encounters, whilst the Magpies have claimed just three points from their last twelve trips to Goodison.

But if the Premier League has taught us anything this season, it’s that nothing is truly impossible in the English top flight. Likewise, the Tynesiders will feel revitalised after an impressive transfer window that saw them outspend the entire of La Liga to bring in Henry Saivet, Jonjo Shelvey, Andros Townsend and Seydou Doumbia.

So with that in mind, who will come out on top in tonight’s game? Perhaps a look at the key individual battles can shed some light on the potential outcome.
