West Ham will be hoping to pick up where they off in midweek against Newcastle United on Sunday after boosting their Premier League survival hopes.
David Moyes' side executed a smash-and-grab against Chelsea on Wednesday, with Andriy Yarmolenko's 89th-minute winner sealing a 3-2 win at the London Stadium.
That result puts the Hammers up to 16th with 30 points and six matches remaining - and Moyes wants to hit the 40-point mark to guarantee their place in the division next season.
But the visitors come up against a Newcastle side in decent form since the restart, beating Sheffield United and Bournemouth by three-goal margins.
A win here would put the east London outfit in a solid position to secure their top-flight status for the 2020/21 campaign and would cap a brilliant week for West Ham.

Newcastle vs West Ham is scheduled for a 2.15pm BST kick-off on Sunday, July 5, 2020.

Team news
Sebastien Haller remains a doubt for West Ham's trip to Newcastle this weekend despite returning to training this week, while Felipe Anderson could also miss out.
Haller has been missing since the restart thanks to a hip injury, with the Hammers sorely missing his presence against Wolves and Tottenham before finally finding their feet going forward with Wednesday's victory over Chelsea.
Mark Noble and Arthur Masuaku, who both missed the victory, have also been training.
While Moyes is unsure as to whether Haller will return, the appearance of Andriy Yarmolenko - who scored the winner - and Jack Wilshere from the bench on Wednesday will have been a big boost to their chances as the schedule continues to place strain on his squad.
Predicted West Ham XI (4-1-4-1): Fabianski; Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice; Bowen, Soucek, Noble, Fornals; Antonio
Prediction: Newcastle 1-1 West Ham
The Magpies have found form without the pressure of relegation looming over their heads and will be tough to beat.
But West Ham will be on a high after their impressive win over Chelsea and can boost their chances of survival with a draw at St James' Park.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
This is not a fixture West Ham have enjoyed, at least historically speaking. The Hammers have won 42 times but lost 56 games against the Magpies, although they did win the last meeting here in December 2018 by a convincing 3-0 scoreline.
