Newcastle United welcome West Ham to the North East this evening looking to continue their impressive recent form.The Magpies are searching for a fourth consecutive win in all competitions after

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak seems to relish playing against the Hammers, having scored in all three league appearances against them since joining the Magpies from Real Sociedad in August 2022.

Newcastle United and West Ham United will go head-to-head at St James' Park in the Premier League on Monday evening.

Newcastle, who are in the congested mix for a top-six finish leading to a return to European football next season, have been strong at St James’ Park where they have conceded just three goals – a feat which gives them a share with Liverpool of the best defensive record in front of their own fans.

West Ham backed Lopetegui with £120million worth of talent in the transfer market but they sit 14th - and three points above the drop zone - after 11 games. Newcastle United have lost just one of their last 11 meeting against West Ham - and have a chance to put further pressure on the London outfit tonight.

Eddie Howe will name at least one change to his Newcastle United starting XI for the Premier League clash against West Ham United tonight. The Magpies are without Dan Burn for the first time this season after he picked up his fifth yellow card in the 3-1 win at Nottingham Forest last time out.
