Newcastle have enjoyed one of their best weeks in history, as they recorded a massive win over PSG in midweek. However, their focus will switch back to domestic matters this Sunday, as they travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United.
Premier League Preview
There is little to separate these two sides in the current Premier League standings, with the Hammers currently sitting seventh and Newcastle sitting a place lower in eighth. West Ham ended a two-game losing run last weekend, as they claimed a straightforward home success against Sheffield United. A second straight win on Sunday could see them move into the Champions League spots before the international break.
West Ham have made their best start to the season in eight years this term, as they have picked up 13 points from their opening seven matches. A victory this weekend would mark their best start to a new season in the top flight in over 20 years. However, it will be fascinating to see how David Moyes approaches this fixture, as it takes place just days after a Europa League showdown against Freiburg in Germany.
Newcastle have recovered from a shaky start to the new season in recent weeks, and this weekend, they will be going in search of a fourth straight victory in the Premier League. Confidence around the camp will be very high after the team recorded a stunning 4-1 win over PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Magpies have responded well after losing three on the bounce by landing three straight wins. Over that period, they have scored eleven goals and haven’t conceded once. But, they haven’t recorded four victories on the bounce since the reign of Alan Pardew in April 2012.
West Ham vs Newcastle Head to Head
West Ham have landed just one victory in their last eight Premier League matches against the Magpies. Their only success was a 4-2 win on the road in August 2021. Newcastle have won four of their six visits to the London Stadium in the league.
West Ham vs Newcastle Prediction
Newcastle will quickly need to shift their focus after a huge win over PSG in midweek. However, we could see them struggling to get their focus back on domestic matters this weekend, which means that we will be taking a chance on West Ham landing a rare win over the Magpies.
