Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Nick Pope; Lewis Hall, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes; Harvey Barnes, Nick Woltemade, Anthony Gordon; William Osula
Midfielder Lewis Miley is recovering from surgery and is unavailable. Defensive trio Emil Krafth, Fabian Schar and Tino Livramento are ruled out due to injury.
Joelinton is also an injury doubt for the West Ham clash. Eddie Howe was cautious over the midfielder’s condition pre-match and said, “We have a doubt over Joelinton, who has a slight thigh problem.”
West Ham (4-4-1-1): Mads Hermansen; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Axel Disasi, El Hadji Malick Diouf; Crysencio Summerville, Tomas Soucek, Mateus Fernandes, Jarrod Bowen; Pablo; Taty Castellanos
Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has a lower back problem and won’t feature.
Adama Traore has also been ruled out following a recent injury. Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed the winger’s absence and said, “It is muscular - he was not available for the match against Arsenal - he is recovering, but he's going to be short for this one.”
Verdict
Newcastle have seen loads goals at home in the Premier League this season and West Ham concede a lot. BTTS and over 2.5 goals is the best bet at St James’ Park.
