West Ham United have two chances at celebrating success at the 2024 Football Content Awards on Thursday evening. The Hammers are shortlisted in the Best Football Club – Premier League category after a record-breaking year in which the Club’s social media channels have grown at a ‘remarkable’ rate.

In their final game of 2023, West Ham United went to the Emirates Stadium and emerged with a 2-0 victory over an Arsenal side boasting Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard. Fast forward 11 months and the Hammers head to St James' Park to face Newcastle United on Monday having won away from home just three times since.

West Ham United seeks to reinforce its attack with a key loan.

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.

For West Ham United’s visit to St James’ Park on Monday night, Eddie Howe is set to name a back four that hasn’t yet started together.

Newcastle United face West Ham on Monday night aiming to make it four wins on the spin and continue their brilliant home record against teams from the capital. Eddie Howe’s side have already seen off the challenge of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal on home turf this season and will be keen to continue that momentum against Julen Lopetegui’s side.
