Newcastle United will travel to face Everton in the 13th round of the Premier League. Manager Eddie Howe highlighted the outstanding performances of Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock at the pre-match press conference.
Barnes' performance has been consistently improving this season, becoming a recent attacking highlight for Newcastle United. He has scored six goals in his last eight competitive matches, demonstrating high efficiency. Howe stated that Barnes is currently in excellent physical condition and can withstand the demands of a packed schedule.
"He's in excellent form right now, with top-notch ability to create chances and finish," Howe emphasized, adding that Barnes' confidence and consistency in recent games are key reasons why the team's offense remains competitive.
Besides Barnes, Willock is also gradually emerging from injury. His performance against Marseille was particularly outstanding, providing the team with a significant amount of energy and coverage. Howe praised his excellent training form over the past few weeks, noting his focused attitude and strong execution.
Howe said, "This is his best performance since returning from injury. He showed that his body has recovered well, which is key to him getting back to his best form."
Speaking about their weekend opponent Everton, Howe was full of praise for David Moyes: "He's done a fantastic job at Everton. They've been in good form lately and have a lot of dangerous wingers, so we have to be careful."
Everton's current unbeaten run against Newcastle United in the league (four games) makes this match even more challenging. With a packed schedule in December, Newcastle United are working hard to maintain their form, adjust their squad, and continue their winning ways.
