Newcastle United vs West Ham Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Magpies are unbeaten in five games against the Hammers.
In-form Newcastle United are set to lock horns with Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham United in round 12 of the Premier League action in the final fixture of this round at St. James’ Park aiming to continue their recent streak of winning runs intact.
Newcastle United have gone strength to strength recently after enjoying a recent upturn of form. Eddie Howe’s side have won their three consecutive games in a row which includes a 2-0 win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup. They have also pulled two massive victories over Arsenal and Nottingham to decrease the deficit at the top. The Magpies must now prepare for a busy festive period with games coming thick and fast.
West Ham United on the other hand have managed to bounce back in recent games after a sluggish start to the season. The Hammers are currently languishing in the 14th position having accumulated 12 points from the opening 11 games. Pressure is already mounting on the shoulders of Julen Lopetegui after a huge spending spree in the summer. This festive month will be decisive for him as to whether he continues his job for the Hammers in the long term.

Players to Watch
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
After a slow start to the season, Alexander Isak is finally up and running for the Magpies after scoring in four consecutive games for them for the first time this season. So far, he has scored four goals this season with three of them coming in the previous three games. Having scored in each of the previous two fixtures against West Ham, he will be aiming to become the first player to score three goals consecutively against the same opponent in the Premier League.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)
Jarrod Bowen has been one of the shining lights for the Hammers in their underwhelming campaign after delivering consistent performance for the team this season. He has been a revelation for them and has been deservedly given the armband. Fresh from scoring his first goal for England, Jarrod Bowen will be aiming to improve his tally of three goals and two assists in this game.
