West Ham XI vs Newcastle: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League match

Manuel Pellegrini has plenty to consider as West Ham look to end a run of four games without a win when Newcastle United come to town.

Pellegrini made five changes against Sheffield United but West Ham laboured to a 1-1 draw and the Hammers manager is still searching for the right formula to get back on track.

Robert Snodgrass seems a certain starter after his good display last weekend but Pellegrini has decisions about the make-up of the rest of the team.

West Ham's build-up play was too slow against Sheffield United and Arthur Masuaku could be brought back in at left-back to give the Hammers more pace going forward.

Pellegrini must decide whether to bring Manuel Lanzini back into the side after he was left out last weekend but Lanzini and Felipe Anderson have struggled for form recently.

Sebastien Haller could do with more support around him but Pellegrini is reluctant to play two up front so is likely to stick with the same formation.

Fabian Balbuena is expected to continue at centre-back alongside Issa Diop. Ryan Fredericks could come back in at right-back for Pablo Zabaleta.
