West Ham vs Newcastle team news: Alexander Isak rested while Joelinton replaces injured Joe Willock

Newcastle United made two changes to the team that beat Manchester United for their clash against West Ham.

The Magpies rested Alexander Isak in the capital and Callum Wilson was rewarded with his goal against the Red Devils with a start. The other change saw Joe Willock left out of the starting line-up with a slight hamstring injury and Joelinton take his place in midfield.

Willock had left St James' Park with a slight muscle injury after the victory over Man United. Otherwise, Newcastle were unchanged with Nick Pope in goal, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Dan Burn making up the back four.
