West Ham United v Newcastle United preview: Team news, prediction, head-to-head and stats

West Ham will assess forward Gianluca Scamacca, who has a knee injury.

The Hammers may also need to monitor defender Nayef Aguerd, who has been nursing a niggling hip problem, though he completed Sunday's win against Southampton, scoring the only goal.

Newcastle midfielder Joe Willock is a doubt after being withdrawn in the win against Manchester United because of a hamstring issue.

Miguel Almiron and Emil Krafth remain sidelined.

CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION

It is so tight at the bottom that one win makes a massive difference - look at West Ham, who were second bottom before they beat Southampton on Sunday.
