You can do this with a little configation and an "advice".

First, set gnus-summary-goto-unread to t, which makes 'E' jump to the
next unread article, rather than just the next article:

  (setq gnus-summary-goto-unread t)

(I assume this is what you mean by "the next one", otherwise, you can
simply leave this out.)

Then tell Gnus that when you press 'E', which jumps to the next (unread)
article, you also want to automatically do the same as pressing 'g'
(i.e. display the article you are on in the summary):

  (defadvice gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable (after show-article last activate)
    (gnus-summary-show-article))
