Our predictions for Newcastle v West Ham in the Premier League, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups. <\/p>
Saturday\u2019s Premier League offering concludes in the North East where third-place Newcastle United host relegation battlers West Ham United.<\/p>\n
The two clubs\u2019 roles were reversed this time last year but while the Hammers have struggled to shake the hangover of their high-achieving 2021\/22 campaign, Eddie Howe\u2019s side have gone from strength to strength in the first full season under Saudi ownership.<\/p>\n
West Ham put four past Newcastle on their last visit to St James\u2019s Park, but the hosts have tightened things up significantly since then and now boast the best defensive record in the top flight \u2013 having conceded just 11 times in 20 games.<\/p>\n
A victory for the visitors could give them some breathing room in the relegation battle by moving them four points from the bottom three, assuming results elsewhere go their way \u2013 but taking anything from a trip to Newcastle has been easier said than done this term.<\/p>\n
In fact, the Magpies are one of only two sides that are unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season \u2013 a record that has been key to their high-flying start to the campaign.<\/p>\n
