West Ham vs Newcastle Lineups and Last Match
West Ham
West Ham secured a comfortable 2-0 home win over Sheff Utd last weekend. Bowen opened the scoring after good work from Coufal in the 24th-minute and the Hammers doubled their lead before the break when Soucek finished from an Antonio pass. There were no further goals in the second forty-five and both teams ended the game with just one booking apiece. Cresswell and Bowen are the two main injury concerns for Moyes this weekend but both are expected to be available for selection.
Predicted Lineup – Areola (GK), Coufal, Zouma, Emerson, Aguerd, Ward-Prowse, Souček, Paquetá, Álvarez, Antonio & Bowen
Newcastle
Just like the Hammers, Newcastle picked up a comfortable 3pts last time out via a 2-0 home win over Burnley. Almiron scored a screamer in the 14th-minute to break the deadlock and a penalty from Isak in the second-half put the result beyond doubt. Gordon picked up another yellow card in this game and will now miss the West Ham clash through suspension. Barnes, Willock, Botman and Wilson could all miss the trip to the capital through injury.
Predicted Lineup – Pope (GK), Trippier, Schär, Burn, Lascelles, Almirón, Guimarães, Joelinton, Longstaff, Isak & Tonali
Starting Lineups
West Ham
Newcastle
*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Miguel Almiron
With Anthony Gordon suspended, there will be more pressure on Almiron to provide creativity and goals from the wide positions this weekend.
The Paraguay star had his best-ever campaign in a Newcastle shirt last season and he has started the 2023/24 campaign in similar form with two Premier League goals to his name already.
The 29-year-old scored a lovely goal last time out and we wouldn't be surprised to see him find the back of the net against the Hammers on Sunday.
