Newcastle host West Ham in a crunch Premier League opener at St James\u2019 Park, with neither side having had too much success in the transfer market this summer. <\/p>
Newcastle kick off the new 2021\/22 Premier League season at home to West Ham on Sunday, with boss Steve Bruce under pressure before the campaign has even started.<\/p>\n
Bruce is supposedly the favourite to be the first top-flight manager sacked this term despite a strong finish to last season. The manager needs to get off to a winning start in his opening Premier League fixtures<\/a> to alleviate the scepticism amongst fans.<\/p>\n Last season Newcastle beat West Ham home and away \u2013\u00a0inflicting a 3-2 victory over the London club at St James\u2019 Park in April \u2013 but it is nevertheless the Hammers who are favourites heading into this encounter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Indeed, boss David Moyes will be keen to replicate his team\u2019s sixth-place finish to last term even though West Ham are yet to make a significant signing in the transfer market.<\/p>\n It means we could well see two similar XIs from that which lined up on Tyneside in the spring when the action gets underway this Sunday.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com<\/a> has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Newcastle v West Ham on TV and online.

Freddie Woodman could make his league debut.<\/p>\n Matt Ritchie and Jacob Murphy should get the nod, while Joelinton and Callum Wilson could start up front. Allan Saint-Maximin may be in the mix.<\/p>\n West Ham:<\/b> Manuel Lanzini is rated 50\/50 to feature here following a knock picked up in pre-season, while both Arthur Masuaku and Angelo Ogbonna may not be risked as they work on recovering from injury set-backs.<\/p>\n Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek, who both impressed at the European Championships, should anchor the midfield as usual.<\/p>\n In working partnership with the Radio Times,\u00a0bet365<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has provided the following betting odds for this event:<\/p>\n bet365 odds: Newcastle (11\/5<\/span><\/a>) Draw (5\/2<\/span><\/a>) West Ham (6\/5<\/span><\/a>)*<\/p>\n For all the latest Premier League odds and more, visit bet365 today and claim an opening account offer of \u2018Up to \u00a3100 in Bet Credits**\u2019, utilising the bonus code \u2018RT365\u2019.<\/p>\n *Odds subject to change. 18+.

Newcastle sensationally did the double over West Ham last season but it does appear unlikely that will happen again.<\/p>\n West Ham have been blunted by the departure of Jesse Lingard back to Manchester United, but Newcastle themselves are still wringing their hands over Saint-Maximin, who struggled to start consistently in the previous campaign until the back end of the season.<\/p>\n West Ham\u2019s midfield set-up aided their charge to the top-six last term and it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise if Rice and Soucek marshal this game. There may not be many chances on Tyneside but the visitors are good for a point.<\/p>\n Our prediction: Newcastle 0-0 West Ham (<\/b>10\/1<\/b><\/span><\/a> at <\/b>bet365<\/b><\/span><\/a>)<\/b><\/p>\n Check out our relaunched\u00a0<\/b>Football Times podcast<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0featuring special guests, FPL tips and match previews available on\u00a0<\/b>Apple<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<\/b>Spotify<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<\/b>Acast<\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n For the full breakdown of what games are coming up check out our\u00a0<\/b>Premier League fixtures<\/b><\/span><\/a> on TV\u00a0guide.<\/b><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guide<\/b><\/span><\/a> or visit our <\/b>Sport<\/b><\/span><\/a> hub.<\/b><\/p>\n Newcastle host West Ham in a crunch Premier League opener at St James\u2019 Park, with neither side having had too much success in the transfer market this summer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":3024,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/what-channel-is-newcastle-v-west-ham-premier-league-match-on-kick-off-time-live-stream-and-latest-team-news.jpg",620,413,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/what-channel-is-newcastle-v-west-ham-premier-league-match-on-kick-off-time-live-stream-and-latest-team-news-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/what-channel-is-newcastle-v-west-ham-premier-league-match-on-kick-off-time-live-stream-and-latest-team-news-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/what-channel-is-newcastle-v-west-ham-premier-league-match-on-kick-off-time-live-stream-and-latest-team-news.jpg",620,413,false],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/what-channel-is-newcastle-v-west-ham-premier-league-match-on-kick-off-time-live-stream-and-latest-team-news.jpg",620,413,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/what-channel-is-newcastle-v-west-ham-premier-league-match-on-kick-off-time-live-stream-and-latest-team-news.jpg",620,413,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/08\/what-channel-is-newcastle-v-west-ham-premier-league-match-on-kick-off-time-live-stream-and-latest-team-news.jpg",620,413,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Newcastle host West Ham in a crunch Premier League opener at St James\u2019 Park, with neither side having had too much success in the transfer market this summer.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/3023"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}When is Newcastle v West Ham on TV?<\/b><\/h2>\n
