West Ham vs Newcastle United

West Ham (Winning Odds – 2.60):

Team News:

West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski returned from injury to keep a clean sheet against Southampton, so Alphonse Areola will be relegated to the bench for the time being.

The only injury concern for the Hammers is Gianluca Scamacca, who is still recovering from a knee injury, which means Danny Ings will continue to lead the line.

The wide attacking areas are expected to be occupied by Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma, with Brazil international Lucas Paqueta joining the ever-dependable Declan Rice in midfield.

West Ham Possible Starting Lineup:

Fabianski; Kehrer, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Soucek, Rice, Paqueta; Bowen, Ings, Benrahma

Newcastle United (Winning Odds – 1.50):

Team News:

For Newcastle, Miguel Almiron is still out with an injury, and Emil Krafth looks set to miss the rest of the season with an ACL tear.

Jacob Murphy will continue to play on the right wing for Almiron, while Allan Saint-Maximin is expected to play on the opposite flank and provide attacking support to striker Alexander Isak.

Despite Joelinton’s return from suspension, Eddie Howe may stick with the midfield trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Sean Longstaff, and Joe Willock after their excellent performance against Manchester United.

Newcastle’s backline will remain unchanged, with Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, and Dan Burn providing first-rate defensive cover for Nick Pope in goal.

Newcastle United Possible Starting Lineup:

Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Saint-Maximin
