Everton and primed and ready to continue their scrap against Premier League relegation when they take on Champions League hopefuls Newcastle United at Goodison Park tonight (7.45pm).
Despite picking up a hard-fought draw on their visit to Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, the Blues have dropped into the bottom three after Nottingham Forest defeated high-flying Brighton on Tuesday night.
Here is what three pundits - including Paul Merson and Mark Lawrenson - are tipping to happen...
Paul Merson - Sportskeeda
"Everton are in real trouble at the moment. They got a result against Palace the other day, but I look at their remaining fixtures and worry for them. The only way they can save themselves is by drawing their way out. I don't see them winning a match at the moment.

"Everton are a hard team to beat and they do play a certain way. They need to get out of the bottom three as soon as possible, by either points or goal difference. They need to nick a few draws here and there, and I think they can pull it off this week."
Score prediction: Everton 1-1 Newcastle
Chris Sutton - BBC Sport
"Everton reminded me of Sean Dyche's old Burnley team when I watched them against Crystal Palace at the weekend. Dominic Calvert-Lewin came into the team and they were very direct, with balls into him and then trying to find runners off that.
"This is the last game they need after dropping into the bottom three. Everton don't carry enough of a threat and then you are left asking whether they can keep an in-form Newcastle side out. I don't think they can, and being at home won't make any difference, because the Magpies will frighten the life out of them."
Score prediction: Everton 0-2 Newcastle

Mark Lawrenson - Paddy Power
"Newcastle to win this. They've had their blip and they put away a very poor Tottenham side on Sunday.
"I can't see them blowing Champions League now. Everton didn't look like scoring against Crystal Palace over the weekend. I know Calvert-Lewin's back, but it's going to take him a bit of time to get up and running."
Score prediction: Everton 1-2 Newcastle
