The confirmed Newcastle team against West Ham has now been announced.
Eddie Howe’s side return to the Premier League.
In this afternoon’s match, United want to make it four wins in a row.
It follows a trio of victories at St James’ Park, all in different competitions.
After winning 3-0 against Benfica in the Champions League, Newcastle United then took three points in the Premier League by winning 2-1 against Fulham and then 2-0 against Spurs to progress to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
A win today would make it six wins in their last seven games in all competitions for Newcastle.
It would also see Eddie Howe move into the top half of the Premier League after this weekend’s games.
Newcastle United will be hoping to build on a stellar record at the London Stadium after winning four of their last six visits and drawing the other two.
Newcastle team vs West Ham:
Pope, Krafth, Thiaw, Botman, Burn, Bruno, Joelinton, Tonali, Gordon, Woltemade, Murphy
So six changes to the eleven that started against Spurs.
IN:
Pope, Botman, Bruno, Joelinton, Gordon, Murphy
OUT:
Ramsdale, Schar, Barnes, Elanga, Willock, Ramsey
subtitles:
Ramsdale, Hall, Schar, Barnes, Osula, Elanga, Willock, Miley, Ramsey
Great to see Lewis Hall can return to the matchday squad, but disappointing to see Kieran Trippier unavailable.
However, the club’s official website states that Trippier has been ruled out today due to illness and not injury.
