TEAMS PREVIEW

West Ham United FC Preview

The last time West Ham faced Newcastle,Julen Lopetegui was in charge, and it was a rare bright spot in his troubled reign—a 2-0 Monday night victory, with goals from Tomas Soucek and Wan-Bissaka. Now, under Graham Potter, the Hammers face the Magpies again, this time riding a wave of momentum with back-to-back wins. And with another victory, Potter will achieve something Lopetegui never did—three consecutive Premier League triumphs.

Jarrod Bowen has been a standout for West Ham this season, his brilliance highlighted by the winning goal against Arsenal. With 11 goal contributions in 23 league games, the English forward remains a key figure for the Hammers. Now, he must step up again—finding the net could be crucial in securing another vital victory for the hosts.

West Ham’s back-to-back wins over Arsenal and Leicester without conceding were more than just victories—they matched their total wins from the previous nine games across all competitions, a run that included six painful defeats.

Team News 

Ahead of their crucial showdown with Newcastle, Graham Potter will be boosted by the return of Lucas Paquetá and a potential comeback for Vladimir Coufal, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury. 

West Ham Probable XI - Areola (GK); Cresswell, Kilman, Todibo; Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Scarles; Kudus, Bowen

Newcastle United Preview

Newcastle ended 2024 as one of the league’s form teams, but 2025 has brought its share of struggles. Eddie Howe’s side has lost three of their last four Premier League games and suffered an FA Cup exit to Brighton. Their slump sees them sitting nineth, just a week before their Carabao Cup final showdown. Desperate to end their 70-year wait for silverware, the Magpies will be eager to build momentum ahead of their crucial Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

With 19 goals and five assists in 24 league games, Alexander Isak is one of the Premier League’s most lethal forwards. His record against West Ham is just as impressive—five goals and one assist in just four meetings. If Newcastle are to secure three points, the Swedish star will need to shine once again. Newcastle hasn’t endured three straight goalless defeats since January 2021, and the last time they failed to score at home in the Premier League? It was against none other than West Ham United.

Team News 

Newcastle will be without key players for this clash, including the suspended Anthony Gordon after his red card against Brighton. Adding to their woes, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall are now sidelined with injuries, further depleting Eddie Howe’s squad.

Newcastle United Probable XI - Pope (GK) ; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes
