Newcastle United vs West Ham United - Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups
By Ben Gray
Newcastle United are unbeaten in five meetings with West Ham, while the Hammers have won only three of their 20 visits to Tyneside this century, with another home win likely here.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United Preview
Can Newcastle United continue their impressive form? Last time out, the Magpies fought back from a goal down to beat high-fliers Nottingham Forest 3-1 at the City Ground, with Alexander Isak equalising, before strikes from Joelinton and then Harvey Barnes secured victory.
Eddie Howe's team had been winless in five league matches, but are now enjoying three victories on the bounce, having dumped Chelsea out the EFL Cup and then defeated Arsenal, also at home, prior to that aforementioned success on the banks of the River Trent. The Magpies therefore began the weekend in eighth, knocking on the door of the European positions, firm favourites to continue their winning streak.
That's because West Ham United will make the 275 mile journey north, convenient on a Monday night, in horrendous form, starting the weekend 14th, just five points clear of the drop zone. Fair to say, new manager Julen Lopetegui is yet to win over very many supporters, with the Hammers' dull and uninspiring goalless draw against Everton at the London Stadium last time out doing little to improve the mood.
The Irons still only have three victories to their name all season, winless in four away games since August, battered by both fierce rivals Spurs and Nottingham Forest during their two most-recent road fixtures, seeing a key man dismissed during both. Lopetegui certainly remains a man under pressure so, ahead of Saturday's London derby against Arsenal, another resounding defeat at St James' Park will do nothing to increase confidence in the Spaniard.

Newcastle United Team News
Dan Burn is suspended, having collected his fifth yellow card of the campaign at the City Ground, while Fabian Schär and Joelinton are walking an identical tightrope here. As a result, Lloyd Kelly seems set to come into defence, given that Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth all remain sidelined. Matt Targett, who was back on the bench a fortnight ago, could feature in the Premier League for the first time since a trip to West Ham 13 months ago, following two long-term injuries and then a case of eczema; a rather more unusual footballer injury. In midfield, Sandro Tonali has started all six of Italy's Nations League fixtures this season, but can't get in the team ahead of Sean Longstaff just now. Lastly, Joelinton had been playing further forward recently, but Harvey Barnes is expected to start wide-left, following his goal off the bench in Nottingham.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs West Ham United: (4-2-3-1): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Kelly, Hall; Longstaff, Guimarães, Joelinton; Gordon, Barnes, Isak.
Newcastle United Players to Watch vs West Ham United
Alexander Isak was on target during Sweden's win over Slovakia last weekend, now seeking to add to his five club goals so far this season, hoping to find the target in a fourth successive Premier League fixture.

Edson Álvarez could return, following a one-match suspension, but Mohammed Kudus cannot yet feature, with this the fourth of his extended five-game ban. In goal, Alphonse Areola is expected to be available, but Julen Lopetegui may stick with Łukasz Fabiański, who's been reinstated for the last three matches. Michail Antonio didn't feature in either of Jamaica's games against the United States last week, sitting out the first one suspended, before not travelling to St. Louis because he lost his passport, which some are speculating is a bogus excuse, although that won't be an issue when traveling to Tyneside. Lucas Paquetá will sit out Saturday's game with Arsenal if cautioned.
West Ham United predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-5-1): Fabiański; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Álvarez, Souček, Paquetá, Bowen, Summerville; Antonio.
West Ham United Player to Watch vs Newcastle United
Jarrod Bowen scored his first England goal last Sunday, finding the net mere seconds after being introduced against the Republic of Ireland at Wembley. He was on target during West Ham's bonkers and chaotic 4-3 defeat at St James' Park back in March, in which they lost 4-3, despite leading 3-1 with a mere 13 minutes to play, and Bowen will remain key to his team's success.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United Prediction
As alluded to, we're ultra-confidently forecasting a Newcastle victory. The Magpies have turned a corner of late, making St James' a fortress once again, while West Ham are directionless and lacking any semblance of a plan, which isn't a recipe for success: Newcastle United 2-0 West Ham United.
