Newcastle United host West Ham United as the Premier League returns following the international break.
Eddie Howe’s Magpies will hope to pick up form in the closing weeks of the season after just two wins in their last six matches in all competitions.
While David Moyes’ side are also desperate for the points after just one win in their last four games across all competitions.
It was an entertaining 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at the London Stadium earlier this season.

Newcastle United vs West Ham United
This has been a thriller of a game, and Isak’s second penalty has now set us up for a grandstand finish. What a start to this weekend of Premier League action!
Newcastle United vs West Ham United
GOOOAAALLL!!! ISAK MAKES NO MISTAKE FROM THE SPOT AGAIN!!! The striker’s penalty is a carbon copy of his first, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and lashing into the bottom left corner to reduce West Ham’s lead to 3-2!

PENALTY!!! Phillips’ bad start to his West Ham career goes from bad to worse as the referee goes to the monitor before deeming Phillips kicked through the back of Gordon. Newcastle will have a chance to halve the deficit with another penalty, and it’s Isak again who will step up…

PENALTY!?!? With all hands on deck for the visitors, Fabianski makes another important save to deny Barnes. However, there’s then a penalty shout for the hosts as Phillips catches Gordon while trying to hack clear with the ball popping around the West Ham box. There’s a VAR check now ongoing…

BIG SAVE!!! Newcastle go close to halving the deficit as Anderson fires Gordon’s cross towards goal first time, only for Fabianski to get across in time to make a brilliant stop and preserve his side’s two-goal advantage.

The visitors have scored three times from four shots on target, performing well above their xG of 1.12. It’s been ruthless from the Hammers, especially when compared to their profligate hosts.

Phillips, trying to play his way back into Gareth Southgate’s plans for the upcoming European Championships, will get a chance to impress here as he comes on for Antonio.

WHAT WAS THAT!?!? Newcastle work a great opportunity as Almiron again cleverly pulls the ball back into the box. Longstaff is there waiting to shoot, but it’s almost like he loses track of where he is in the box, and his eventual sidefooted effort is awful as it flies well wide of Fabianski’s goal.

CHANCE! A big opportunity comes and goes for the hosts as Almiron cuts the ball back for Isak in the middle of the box, only for the striker to miskick and send his shot skimming out harmlessly for a goal-kick.
