Newcastle vs West Ham LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal ...
Newcastle United host West Ham in the Premier League.
The Magpies have had mixed form at times this season but after some impressive recent results, including a win over Arsenal, three points tonight could take Eddie Howe’s team into the top six and just one point below Chelsea in third.
West Ham have had a much poorer start to their season, with Julen Lopetegui’s side languishing in 14th, just three points above the relegation places.
And with matches against fellow strugglers Leicester and Wolves coming up – as well as a match at home to Arsenal up next – the Hammers desperately need a win as they head into one of the most congested periods in the fixture list in December.

HALF TIME! Newcastle 0-1 West Ham20:58 , Jamie Braidwood
Harvey Barnes is warming up at half-time, which could be bad news for West Ham. He came off the bench to score twice as Newcastle came from 3-1 down to 4-3 in this exact fixture last season.

36 mins: SAVE! It should be 1-1! An error from Todibo, who fails to clear an easy cross, sees Gordon have the chance to score from inside six yards.
But Fabianski gets out and makes himself big. It’s a great stop from the goalkeeper. Newcastle continue to grow in threat.

Newcastle 0-1 West Ham20:18 , Jamie Braidwood
17 mins: Isak is allowed all the time in the world to take the ball down on the edge of the West Ham box. Todibo does eventually get out to block the shot. Kelly heads wide at the back post from the corner.
Newcastle 0-1 West Ham20:16 , Jamie Braidwood

“We are in a results business and results matter. It’s up to us.
“The manager has good ideas with the ball, under the old manager we had a way of playing and were successful but we’ve changed that.
“You have to adapt and find the right balance. It is down to us players to buy into those ideas.”

West Ham could be ‘rolled over’ by Newcastle19:31 , Jamie Braidwood
Speaking on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher has predicted that West Ham could be “rolled over” by Newcastle tonight and warned that Julen Lopetegui could face the sack if results don’t improve.
“This is a team that have lost five games by two or more goals. This is not what West Ham fans want,” Carragher said.
“Lopetegui is fortunate that they have not pulled the trigger, if it doesn’t change very quickly, I think there could be a change.
“It’s not an easy game tonight, I could see them getting rolled over.”
Newcastle vs West Ham: Repeat of a classic?19:15 , Jamie Braidwood
Last season’s meeting between Newcastle and West Ham was one of the games of the season, with Eddie Howe’s team coming from 3-1 down to win 4-3 at St James’ Park.
Key to that comeback was Harvey Barnes, who scored twice from the bench. He has an impressive record against West Ham too.
He’s either scored or assisted in each of his last four against West Ham (4 goals, 1 assist) and has scored in each of the last three.

Julen Lopetegui rejects talk of pressure after dismal start at West Ham18:15 , Chris Wilson
West Ham United boss Julen Lopetegui is not about to lose any sleep over speculation his job is on the line.
The Hammers head to Newcastle on Monday night with the spotlight very much on the future of the Spanish coach following an underwhelming start to the season.
Lopetegui took over from David Moyes in the summer but has seen his side win just three Premier League games and also dumped out of the Carabao Cup after a 5-1 defeat at Liverpool.

Newcastle United host West Ham United on Monday night in the Premier League, with both sides in need of the points for somewhat different reasons.
The Magpies had a fairly indifferent start to the campaign but two wins on the bounce before the international break leaves Eddie Howe’s team in eighth, only one point behind the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea before the weekend’s action began.
In a congested top half of the table, consistency will be key to their hopes of attaining European football for next term and staying ahead of the likes of Aston Villa, Spurs and Manchester United will be vital to doing so.
As for the Hammers, Julen Lopetegui has had a very poor start to his time in charge and although he’s not concerned about talk of pressure, three wins from 11 matches tells its own story.
