📰 Team News: Newcastle United

Callum Wilson (Back injury), Kieran Trippier (Hamstring injury), Sven Botman (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Emil Krafth (Broken collarbone) won’t be able to feature for Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe.

It looks as if The Magpies may well go for a 4-3-3 formation this time with Nick Pope, Valentino Livramento, Fabian Schaer, Lloyd Kelly, Lewis Hall, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joseph Willock, Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak and Joelinton.

📰 Team News: West Ham United

Owing to an otherwise available squad, there’s only the one fitness problem for the West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui to contend with. Niclas Füllkrug (Achilles tendon irritation) misses out for this game.

We’re of the thinking that The Hammers will likely begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting the game with Lukasz Fabianski, K. Mavropanos, Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Emerson, Guido Rodriguez, Tomas Soucek, Lucas Paqueta, C. Summerville and Jarrod Bowen.

🧠 Prediction

West Ham United will have a difficult task to be getting goals against a Newcastle United side who will likely get the goals that they need to set up a big win here.

We reckon that it will be a commanding 3-0 winning scoreline for Newcastle United when all is said and done.
