David Moyes hasn't sprung any surprises as he has named an unchanged lineup as he takes his West Ham team to St James' Park in the Premier League.
The same team that started the 3-2 win against Chelsea in midweek will lineup from the first whistle once again on Sunday meaning there is no return to the team for skipper Mark Noble.
The captain missed out against Chelsea with a slight hamstring injury and wasn't risked but he is back in the squad for the weekend's game but takes his place on the bench. Match-winner from Wednesday Andriy Yarmolenko has to make do with a spot among the subs once again, while Arthur Masuaku also returns to the squad having missed the first three games of the restart after twisting his ankle.
Michail Antonio will once again lead the line for Moyes side, supported by Jarrod Bowen and Pablo Fornals. Manuel Lanzini earns his second successive start, having not been in from the off since January prior to the midweek win against Chelsea. He is in the middle of the park with Declan Rice, who captains the team again in the absence of Noble, and Tomas Soucek.
The back four remains in tact as well as Angelo Ogbonna starts alongside Issa Diop with Aaron Cresswell and Rysn Fredericks lininig up at full back. Lukasz Fabianski retains his place in goal.
Sebastien Haller is once again ruled out with a hip injury though he returned to training earlier this week. Football.London understands that his continued absence is not to do with a missed transfer installment West Ham failed to pay last month to Haller's former club, Eintracht Frankfurt.
Felipe Anderson is also missing once again as he has a hamstring injury he picked up in the warm-up prior to the Chelsea game and was pulled from the squad. Robert Snodgrass is another absentee as he has a back problem.
West Ham team vs Newcastle: Fabianski; Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek, Lanzini; Fornals, Bowen, Antonio
Subs: Randolph, Balbuena, Masuaku, Noble, Johnson, Wilshere, Yarmolenko, Xande Silva, Ajeti
