There are only two points between West Ham United and Tottenham in the Premier League table and the Hammers have the chance to move out of the relegation zone on Sunday.

Our away record has been woeful this season! 😬
Three points at St James’ Park would do it for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, who could yet pull off what would be a great escape.

Newcastle vs West Ham team news
Newcastle will be missing all of Lewis Miley, Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar and Emil Krafth. Joelinton is a major doubt, while Anthony Gordon is unlikely to play for the club again amid links with Bayern Munich.
Adama Traore is injured for West Ham but the Irons otherwise have a fully fit squad from which to choose.
Newcastle vs West Ham prediction
West Ham can have a degree of confidence heading into the game. Newcastle are not the force they were at St James’ Park and they have been playing like they’re waiting for the season to end for what feels like an age now.
Though West Ham’s away form is poor, a win on Tyneside does not feel out of the question
