Match Preview for West Ham v Newcastle
Newcastle travel to West Ham for Monday Night football to round off the Premier League action this week.
The Hammers beat Leicester 2-0 last time out, claiming back-t0-back wins for the first time under Graham Potter and in almost a year.
The London side remain 15th in the table, but there is a renewed sense of hope inside the London Stadium that the Hammers can finish the campaign strong.
Newcastle are still chasing a Champions League spot, but must fix their inconsistency issues if they are to secure a spot in the top five.
They are sixth under Eddie Howe, but can climb as high as third with a few good results.
That will include winning in East London, but it will not be an easy task, especially as they will know the outcome of all their rivals’ games before they play.
