West Ham learn schedule for three crucial July fixtures in relegation battle

West Ham will play three crucial games in the first 11 days of July and their schedule for those games has now been revealed.

The Hammers take on Newcastle, Burnley and Norwich City in the first part of the month and will have already played three games of Project Restart by the time they come around.

The trip to Newcastle will now be played on Sunday, July 5 with a 2pm kick off and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Three days later, David Moyes’s side will host Burnley at London Stadium on July 8 with a 6pm kick off in east London, shown live on BT Sport.

Then three days after that on the 11th, West Ham face a massive match as they travel to fellow relegation candidates Norwich City at Carrow Road for a 12.30pm kick off, also being shown live on BT Sport.

All three could be must-win games for Moyes’ men after their first three games of the resumption, which gets underway this weekend with a home game against Wolves before a trip to Spurs and then a home game against Chelsea.

The final three matches of the season at home to Watford, away to Manchester United and at home to Aston Villa have provisional dates set but no kick off times as of yet.

The Hammers will host Watford on July 15, travel to Old Trafford on the 18th and host Villa on the 26th but those dates are all subject to change.

The Premier League restarted on Wednesday night with two matches played behind closed doors amid the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Aston Villa and Sheffield United shared the points in a 0-0 draw while Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0 at the Etihad as all four teams played their games in hand.
