Keys To The Game

The middle of the park is likely to be congested, especially if both teams line up with five in front of the back-four. Longstaff and Hayden will have to work hard against Mark Noble and Declan Rice.

Newcastle will rely on their inform players of Schar, Almiron and Longstaff to make a positive contribution in East London.

Michail Antonio had a good game in West Ham’s recent 3-1 win against Fulham. Antonio has the ability to change the game, he can go missing when the game doesn’t go his way.

Neither side will want to give up any ground to those teams around them. Newcastle are still looking over their shoulder. Another game without defeat will do the club’s confidence a world of good.

Next. Spurs desire three points back from Arsenal. dark

West Ham must improve their poor run of form. Unbeaten Newcastle can extend their run to three games, the Hammers might have other ideas.
