West Ham vs Newcastle United LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: London Stadium
Kick-off: 5:30pm GMT
West Ham face a tough test against a Newcastle team that have risen to 13th and created a six-point buffer to the relegation zone after back-to-back 2-0 wins over Huddersfield and Burnley.
The Magpies, who memorably toppled Man City last month, have only conceded twice in their last five matches and found a real spark in record signing Miguel Almiron.
