Newcastle will hope to maintain their run of results that have kept them above the Premier League drop zone when West Ham rock up on Tyneside this Saturday – but that will be easier said than done.
Steve Bruce’s men have earned seven points from their last six games to stave off 17th-placed Fulham and keep alive their hopes of survival this term.
The Toon have just seven Premier League fixtures to secure their top-flight status and would likely take a draw ahead of Saturday’s kick off here.
That’s because West Ham are one of the most in-form teams in the division right now. Not only are they sitting in the Champions League spots, but they are currently averaging 3.3 goals per game.
The likes of Jesse Lingard and Jarrod Bowen have dazzled in a Hammers shirt of late – and David Moyes himself will be hoping for more than a solitary point this weekend.

Our prediction: Newcastle v West Ham
Newcastle are in high spirits right now but so are West Ham, which means this game is set up to be a firecracker on Tyneside. West Ham are scoring for fun and Newcastle proved in the recent 2-2 draw with Spurs that they can match teams when they so choose.
Granted, the Hammers midfield of Tomáš Souček and Noble is certainly more robust than the equivalent in the Newcastle set-up.
But the Toon have found a resolve of late and this will make Saturday’s clash a real contest. It may be Lingard again who proves the difference for West Ham – but even then an away win won’t come without drama at the other end.
Our prediction: Newcastle 1-2 West Ham (17/2 at bet365)
