Newcastle looking to build on their last win
The Magpies will have a breather after their last win but now have five games against teams in the top half starting this Saturday. Newcastle are not having a good season but that last win could give them some hope if they can build on that win.
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last four home matches and have rescued five points from losing positions across their last four matches in the Premier League. Steve Bruce’s team have just one loss in six games and one win in eight games.
In their last match against Burnley, Newcastle came from behind and won 2-1. Even though Newcastle were dominated by their opponents who had 57% ball possession and 24 goal attempts, Newcastle still managed to win converting five of their shots on goal to two goals.
West Ham keen to hold on to a top-four finish
The Hammers are in the champions league spot and they will fight to keep that position. West Ham scored three goals in three consecutive matches and that saw them reach the fourth position. They look set to keep that position until the end of the season for the first time since the 1985/86 season.
Five or more goals have been scored in West Ham’s last three matches 16 to be exact, scoring nine and conceding seven. They have just one clean sheet in seven matches and three or more goals have been scored in six of their last eight matches.
David Moyes’s team are making it a habit of letting opponents back into the game. In their last three games, West Ham went 3-0 ahead. Against Arsenal, they could only draw 3-3 while in the other two matches against Wolves and Leicester they managed to keep their opponents’ goal tally at two.
