Newcastle have failed to score in their last two games against Everton and Brighton

This is despite taking 35 shots, having 87 touches in the box and creating an expected goals of four.

The 1-0 home defeat to the Seagulls was the first time Eddie Howe's side have failed to score at home in the Premier League since a 0-0 home draw against Leicester in May 2023

They had 21 shots without scoring on Saturday – the first time they have registered 20 or more shots without scoring since that goalless draw with the Foxes.
