West Ham can keep up their push for a European spot with a win up at Newcastle as the Premier League season resumes today.

While David Moyes continues to divide opinion during what could be his final season in charge of the club, things improved for him before the international break.

The Hammers fought back from two goals down to claim a draw with Burnley before making light work of Freiburg in the Europa League to progress into the quarter-finals and drawing with high-flying Aston Villa.

They are only three points of the top six and boast a four-point lead over Eddie Howe’s side, though a home victory would see competition for continental qualification get even more intense.

Still, the Magpies remain hugely inconsistent and beset by injuries, so West Ham should feel confident.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Newcastle vs West Ham team news

The hosts remain without Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, Nick Pope and Callum Wilson. Sven Botman has also recently added to Newcastle’s injury list after suffering his second knee injury of the season. Lewis Miley has been ruled out for around six weeks with a back problem.

Howe could welcome back Harvey Barnes, Tino Livramento and Kieran Trippier, however.

The Hammers, at this stage, are not thought to have any fresh injury worries, albeit Emerson Palmieri and Maxwel Cornet will need to be assessed.
