Newcastle United host West Ham United as the Premier League returns following the international break.
Eddie Howe’s Magpies will hope to pick up form in the closing weeks of the season after just two wins in their last six matches in all competitions.
While David Moyes’ side are also desperate for the points after just one win in their last four games across all competitions.
It was an entertaining 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at the London Stadium earlier this season.

Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:55
Livramento is now down in a heap for Newcastle, who just cannot seem to stem this flow of injury problems.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:53
There are "oles" coming from the away end as the visitors knock the ball around, looking full of confidence and in command of this contest. This would be a huge victory for the Hammers, and right now their lead looks pretty safe.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:50
Only West Ham legend Paolo Di Canio (16 in 1999-00) has scored more goals in a single Premier League season for the Hammers than Bowen this campaign (15).
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:50
The hosts' defending has really left a lot to be desired in this game. Sure, they have injuries, but the Magpies look to have no chance of European qualification if their backup players look quite this vulnerable defensively.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:48
Assist Mohammed Kudus
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:47
Goal Jarrod Bowen
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:46
At 54:02, Kudus' goal was the second latest first-half goal on record in the Premier League (since 2006-07), after Francisco Trincao for Wolves v Leeds United in March 2022 (55:11).
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:45
The Hammers get the ball rolling again for the second half.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:44
Moyes makes a change between the sticks at the interval, as Fabianski comes on for Areola, who looked to be struggling in the latter stages of the first half.
13:31
Newcastle have probably shaded matters, accumulating 1.43 xG (expected goals) to the visitors' 0.9 in the first half. The Hammers have been clinical, however, and Howe has work to do at the interval if he is to spark a turnaround.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:30
The referee blows the whistle to end a lively first half with the scoreline 2-1 to West Ham over hosts Newcastle at St James' Park. Howe's men were ahead after just six minutes as Coufal sent Gordon tumbling in the box, before Isak coolly stepped up to send Areola the wrong way and convert his spot-kick. West Ham responded, however, levelling through Antonio's fine finish before surviving Guimaraes crashing against the woodwork for Kudus to put them ahead just moments before the interval.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:30
HALF-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-2 WEST HAM
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:30
Newcastle were far from happy with the award of that goal, with Schar down and clutching his face when Kudus scored having been caught by the Ghana international while fouling him. There didn't seem to be too much contact, though, and the referee waves away the protests.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:27
Assist Jarrod Bowen
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:25
Goal Mohammed Kudus
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:24
This has turned into a bit of a basketball match in first-half added time, with both sides throwing caution to the wind in their pursuit of the third goal of the game.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:24
Just seconds after Guimaraes hit the bar, Kudus looks to be through on goal until Burn nudges him over. The referee rules it a fair shoulder-to-shoulder challenge, much to Moyes' disbelief.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:23
OFF THE BAR!!! Newcastle are inches away from going 2-1 up, as Murphy rolls the ball back for Guimaraes to shoot from range. The midfielder nearly gets it spot on as the ball looks set to crash into the top right corner, but the Brazil international's shot instead cannons off the upright and deflects away from danger. So close for the hosts!
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:20
Willock cannot seriously trouble Areola with a shot from 25 yards out, with the West Ham goalkeeper able to make a comfortable save from the Newcastle man's tame effort.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:18
There will be 10 minutes of additional time at the end of this first half. That's not your typical amount of first-half stoppage time, though it's perhaps understandable with the VAR delay for Newcastle's penalty and the lengthy pause for Lascelles' injury.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:16
Mavropanos makes an absolutely vital interception to hook clear Murphy's cross before the lurking Isak can nod goalwards behind him. That was a potentially goal-saving intervention from the former Arsenal man.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:13
West Ham are struggling to get up the pitch at the moment. Antonio is looking increasingly isolated as the visitors try and make it to the break with the scoreline at 1-1.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:11
Soucek receives the first booking of the game for bowling over Guimaraes in midfield.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:10
Newcastle fail to deal with a free-kick delivery into their box, and the ball bounces up nicely for Bowen to hit. However, he fails to really trouble Dubravka, who gets down to make a routine stop.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:08
WIDE!!! Not known for his heading abilities, Gordon ghosts into the centre of the box to get on the end of Murphy's cross. He has the space to get a header away at goal, but he can only nod wide of the right post with the goalkeeper left completely flatfooted. That really was a golden opportunity for the hosts to get their noses back in front.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:06
Paqueta looks a little worse for wear after a challenge near the touchline, though he should be okay to carry on, much to Moyes' relief.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:06
Newcastle have lost just one of their last nine Premier League meetings with West Ham (four wins, four draws), a 4-2 home defeat in August 2021.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:03
It's been a decent response from Newcastle to their lead being eradicated. They've been getting on the front foot and looking to get themselves back into the lead.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United13:00
Antonio's equaliser marks the first time he has scored in successive Premier League games for West Ham since August.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:58
Since the start of last season, only Alexis Mac Allister (seven from seven) has a better 100 per cent conversion rate from the penalty spot in the Premier League than Isak (five from five).
Newcastle United vs West Ham United: Antonio equalises for Hammers12:55 , Jack Rathborn
That was a fine goal from West Ham.
Paqueta’s ball was superb, the movement from Antonio to spin and run in behind.
Then the composure to control and finish, Antonio was lethal there. 1-1.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:56
As he looks to restore his team's lead, Gordon cuts in and shoots on his right foot, though it's a comfortable save by Areola down low to his left.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:56
Howe will be far from happy with the manner in which his team conceded the leveller. With the injuries his team have suffered at centre-back, he needs players to step up, but that just didn't happen with Krafth for the Antonio goal.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:52
Assist Lucas Tolentino Coelho de Lima
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:50
Antonio's dipping effort just doesn't quite drop enough as the ball flies over the crossbar. That is the closest the visitors have come to levelling so far.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:48
Substitution Jamaal Lascelles Emil Henry Kristoffer Krafth
12:48
Lascelles walks gingerly to the sideline before making his way back onto the field of play. He doesn't look entirely comfortable, though, and the visitors will surely be looking to put him under pressure to see just how fit he is to continue.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:45
Lascelles goes down for the hosts, and this could be another huge injury blow for Howe and Newcastle, who will still be reeling from the news that centre-back Botman will miss the rest of the season. It may have been a below-par campaign for the Magpies, but it's fair to say that injuries have been a huge factor in that.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:42
The ball bounces nicely for Isak to smash goalwards, but he gets well underneath his effort and it soars high over the crossbar. He looks in the mood for more goals here.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:41
When Newcastle score first at St James' Park, they usually go on to claim all three points, winning nine of the 12 home games in which they have netted the opener in the Premier League this season.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:39
Well, it's certainly not the start Moyes will have been hoping for. A defeat here would move Newcastle to within a point of his side, and the Hammers have work to do now if they want to avoid that fate.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:37
The penalty will stand!!! After a couple of minutes of deliberation, Newcastle will indeed have a spot-kick, with Isak standing over the ball...
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:36
Penalty Goal Alexander Isak
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:35
PENALTY TO NEWCASTLE!!! What a start this could be for the hosts as Gordon, fresh off his first international break away with England, wins a spot-kick. He nips the ball away from Coufal, who lunges into a clumsy challenge and sends the winger tumbling, giving the referee no choice but to point to the spot! But wait, there is a VAR check for offside in the build-up...
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:32
The hosts kick us off and we are under way in Newcastle!
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:31
The two teams make their way onto the St James' Park ahead of kick-off. Which of the two teams can hit the ground running after the international break with three points? We will find out shortly!
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:28
Moyes goes with one alteration from the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa prior to the international break, with Ward-Prowse coming into the midfield for the suspended Edson Alvarez. Kudus was absent for international duty with Ghana but is fit enough to start here.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:23
Eddie Howe makes just the one change from his team's last outing, a 2-0 FA Cup defeat at Manchester City, as Livramento returns in defence for Sven Botman, who will miss the rest of the campaign after having knee surgery. Barnes is on the bench after missing two games through injury.

West Ham, meanwhile, are four points above Newcastle in seventh, just three points behind Manchester United in sixth, and a strong end to the campaign could yet see them finish in the European places while also perhaps claiming Europa League glory. David Moyes' men are unbeaten in four in the league, and they would love to land what could be a 'hammer' blow to Newcastle's hopes of continental qualification here.
Newcastle United vs West Ham United12:03
After such a successful campaign last time out in finishing in the top four, this season has been somewhat of a disappointment for Newcastle, who currently sit 10th in the Premier League and with their hopes of European qualification in serious doubt. They've lost three of their last five in all competitions, though the international break may give them renewed vigour as they bid to improve their fortunes.
