Newcastle United came out of the gates hot, but then reality crept back in. The unbeaten start ended with a decisive 3-1 loss to Fulham a couple weekends ago, but the Geordies rebounded nicely to manage a home draw against the three-time defending league champions in Manchester City. That has to be giving them some momentum as they head to Everton FC this weekend.
The Toffees are once again sputtering near the bottom, flirting with relegation for another season. So not much has changed there!
