Team News

West Ham
Newcastle
  • Jack Wilshere missed out against Sheffield United with a minor groin issue but is expected to make the matchday squad on Sunday.
  • Robert Snodgrass will hope to retain his place in the starting XI after getting on the scoresheet against Sheffield United last time out.
  • Ryan Fredericks will push to regain his place in the team after being replaced in the starting XI by Pablo Zabaleta last weekend.
  • Winston Reid got 60 minutes under his belt for West Ham's U23s in midweek but this weekend will come too soon for the centre-back.
  • Florian Lejeune is closing in on a first-team return but Sunday's trip to West Ham may come too soon for the centre-back.
  • Sean Longstaff starts a three-match ban after his straight red card against Wolves last weekend but Newcastle can at least welcome back Isaac Hayden from suspension.
  • Fabian Schar, Matt Ritchie remain out for Newcastle. Andy Carroll is reportedly fit enough to make the squad against his former club.
  • Miguel Almiron and Joelinton are well short of confidence at the moment but Newcastle lack squad depth and there are few alternatives available to Bruce.

Prediction

  • West Ham are winless in their last five matches in all competitions.
  • Newcastle have only won one of their last eight matches in all competitions. They have played Tottenham, Liverpool, Leicester and Chelsea in their last four away matches.
  • Newcastle haven't been a thrilling watch this season but they have generally been tough to break down. They lost 5-0 to Leicester but they conceded four of those goals when down to 10 men.
  • In fact, Newcastle have only conceded more than once in a Premier League match on three occasions this season.
